Hi 

anyone have any details of companies using this system, in the Devon Exeter area for a small 2/3 bed detached house self build … at the drawing planning stage at this time

R Wall ICF pretty common around those parts I believe

Polarwall very local in Exeter. They only use extruded polystyrene not expanded.

That means the thermal and mechanical properties are different, depending on orientation.

But better mechanical strength, better moisture resistance and have a board which has a Lambda value of 0.027

Can you qualify "better mechanical strength"?

 

Isn't lambda only a very small part of the overall calculation for sap?

 

The EPS Vs XPS argument is mostly predicated on manufacturer sponsored research.  Not going into that rabbit hole but generally speaking "facts" like the ones started do not paint the whole picture.

So anyone using Jackon in the Devon Exeter area? 

[Tom]

Not me, but the Nudura distributor is close by www.thefellpartnership.co.uk

So I think I’m looking at Jackon , thermohouse or poly steel 

I see poly steel are quite local to Exmouth Devon. Anyone know much about thermohouse in the West Country?

We do have a member that works for an ICF company in the West Country.

Just noticed they have replied already.
