Suspended and false ceiling insulation
Suspended False Ceiling Insulation We can supply and fit your suspended false ceiling insulation. Suitable for all suspeneded ceiling locations such as schools, offices, showrooms, gyms, public buildings etc. Our polythene encapsulated suspended ceiling pads are supplied for both thermal and acoustic applications, and are ideal products to use where there is the risk of migration of fibres from standard insulation product entering the surrounding environment. Benefits include improved thermal and acoustic performance.
Quoting off plans
If your project is a new build, flat conversions or extensions and you have a set of plans that you are working to, we can quote for the insulation works from looking at the design plans. This may help you early on in pricing out the project. Please do send them in so we can give you an instant quote. We may still come to site to ensure suitability before going ahead with insulating.
Cavity Wall Extraction
This is our team extracting damp non performing cavity wall insulation from a home to prevent further damp issues. Products such as wool, fibres and foams can all cause problems but we can get them out and replace the insulation with safer and better performing product.
Cornwall and Devon are very exposed counties to wind and rain. With that in mind Arrow Insulation has recently visited many hotels requiring extraction and/or Thermabead wall cavity insulation in these two counties. If you run a hotel you and your guests can befit from a more efficient building without damp issues by updating it with better wall cavity isolation. The same goes for homes too. With a hotel you can reclaim your ROI quickly as you can reduce your bills and retain repeat guests.
Extract Insulation from Steel Framed Houses
Reselling a steel framed house can be difficult because a proportion of lenders and insurance companies will not cover them.
Steel frame is a relatively rare form of house construction that became very popular for a period after World War Two to house people displaced after the war. A large number of them were intended to be built on a temporary basis, and were not built with the idea of them being occupied now.
As such, lenders deem these properties as ‘non-standard’
Due to this, lenders and home buyers should insist on a Building Survey rather than a Home Buyers Report, in order to inspect the condition of the steel frame.
Almost no lenders are prepared to lend on a steel framed house where this survey has not taken place.
However if the steel framed home has inuslation in its cavities the surveyor will not be able to visually inspect the steel frame with a borescope for signs of corrosion. Therefore most lenders will not lend on a steel framed home with insulation in its cavities.
We remove a insulation from many steel framed homes before they go to market on behalf of the seller so they do not loose a sale. With each sale lose, the proeprty sits on the market longer and the owner will almost certainly end up dropping the price of the home more than the cost to extract the insulation.
Government announces new Green Homes Grant scheme
Art Deco
We perform insulation tasks on a variety of buildings including specialist homes such as the range of Art Deco homes in Lilliput, near Sandbanks in Poole. We have insulated a number of these homes to bring them up to date with modern efficiency. These homes also benefited from a variety of energy saving appliances and efficient heating systems.
Under Floor Insulation
Spray foam insulation for underneath your wooden floors works brilliantly to remove draft and hold more warmth within. The open cell foam also allows the wooden floors to breath whilst protecting them from damp. If your homes floors feel cold or you notice a draft coming through them, consider insulating them.
