Dennert Poraver GmbH develops an
insulating render formulation
Aerogels are ultralight and
consist of up to 99.98% air. They
therefore have a very low thermal
conductivity and are increasingly
used as insulating materials in
construction products. Poraver® and Aerogels were
combined to form a purely
mineral thermal insulation render
formulation which combines the
advantages of both lightweight
aggregates.
Mineral-based Aerogel insulation
renders achieve high thermal
insulation. They are suitable for
rendering masonry on buildings.
They are classified as “non-
combustible, smoke-development Compressive strength and
processing properties have been
significantly improved. The most
economical formulation has a
thermal conductivity of 0.037 W/
mK with a dry bulk density of 199
kg/m³.
free and non-dripping” and can
therefore be used for facades
where previously mineral wool-
based insulating materials had to
be used for fire protection reasons.

Refurbished Cambridgeshire
fire station features Gaia
underfloor heating
A Hydronic underfloor heating
system from Gaia Underfloor
Heating Limited has been installed
during the modernisation of an
historic fire station in the heart of
Cambridgeshire with the build-up
specified to actually support the
weight of a fully laden appliance.
Officially opened by Sir
Peter Brown, Chairman of
Cambridgeshire and Peterborough
Fire Authority, and Chief
Fire Officer, Chris Strickland,
Yaxley Community Fire and
Rescue Station covers the
Huntingdonshire district of the
county. It is staffed by oncall
firefighters recruited from the
nearby community.
Work on the conserved building,
which dates from 1879, was led
by main contractor, SDC Builders
Limited and took just over a year to
complete.
The Gaia Hydronic underfloor
heating system and an air source
heat pump were the key elements
to a package provided by G-Core
Limited, which offers a full
planning, design and installation
service for ground and water
source, as well as air source heat
pumps.
