SEMPATAP THERMAL SOLID WALL INSULATION

 

If I wallpaper can I redecorate?
Yes, no problem.

SEMPATAP THERMAL has a fibreglass surface and will not be affected by using a steam stripper or hot soapy water. Should you accidentally damage SEMPATAP THERMAL with a wallpaper scraper, make good with polyfiller or plasterer’s mate.

How long will it last?
As long, if not longer than plasterboard. The Energy Saving Trust give SEMPATAP THERMAL a life expectancy of thirty years.

Will it stop condensation?
SEMPATAP THERMAL is excellent for these problems because it makes the wall surface warm and moisture will not condense on warm surfaces. 

 If you have black mould on the walls you must treat it first with MGC MOULD ERADICATION KIT.

Can I use SEMPATAP THERMAL on the ceiling?
Yes, SEMPATAP THERMAL can be put on both walls and ceilings. It is particularly good if you have a flat roof property or extension or on concrete ceilings.

Can I use SEMPATAP THERMAL on the floor?
We have a specially designed variety for floors called SEMPAFLOOR which is easy to fit and very good on all types of floors.

Is SEMPATAP THERMAL good for noise reduction?
Yes, not only does it have outstanding thermal properties but it can be used for sound insulation.

Visual Image

Before Thermal

After Thermal

In the before image, inconsistent temperatures can be seen in red and yellow colours indicating heat loss due to poor detailing or missing/ damaged insulation. Warmer temperatures are seen on the bottom level of this property suggesting heating is on compared to the above level; however it could simply be there is no insulation at all. Analysis of the property after insulation reveals significantly reduced heat loss across the elevation suggesting a much more energy efficient property.
