Thermabead
Thermabead is an EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) system which is injected through the inner leaf once the building is water tight. It offers the best thermal performance of all EPS systems in the UK. ThermaBead ensures 100% cavity fill with no wastage and eliminates cold spots above doors & windows where a damp proof course prevents boards being fitted. There is no reduction in performance from moisture retention as in many existing systems.

There is no reduction in performance from moisture retention as in many existing systems. The advantages of using Thermabead will help save money in other areas of the build.
The thermal insulation properties of ThermaBead will remain effective for the life of the building. The insulation will not crack nor settle. It is a dimensionally stable, chemically inert product, which is resistant to attack from bacteria, moulds and fungi, and will not provide nutrient value for insects or vermin. There is no wastage, no storage or need for bricklayers to fit time consuming cavity boards. Insulating peaks is not needed so a saving of 10-15% is possible if there is no living accommodation behind the peak.

BENEFITS
- Simple and fast to install
- Eliminates on-site storage and waste
- No wastage because the beads flow unrestricted, totally filling the cavity, forming a homogeneous heat saving mass
- Fully fills complicated details in walls
- Makes construction a quick and easier process
- NHBC accepts the use of ThermaBead cavity wall insulation satisfying the relevant requirements of Building Regulations
