The Free Power Co. Limited introduces FRIB - Fire Resistant Insulation Board, a revolutionary board that can be used effectively for insulation in homes and for businesess. FRIB Systems have been designed for anti fire scenarios and fire resistant health and safety of consumers and businesses.
Why insulate?
Energy savings, health, comfort. Insulating your home will save energy and provide a healthier and more comfortable indoor environment. Insulated surfaces are warmer.
Condensation is less likely to form on them so there is less mould and mildew. In summer insulation will keep the heat out, making your home cooler. Insulation will provide a more even temperature all year round.
The initial investment of installing higher insulation than the Building Code prescribes will pay off over time because you save money in energy bills. Older homes often have little or no insulation but they can be retrofitted, making them much more comfortable and saving energy for heating.
The payback period for installing ceiling insulation, for example, is about 5 years. However the main motivation behind installing insulation is often the added comfort and warmth, rather than financial savings.
How does it work?
FRIB insulation works by trapping air in cavities with a specially designed fire retardant paint with a polystyrene base.
The smaller the cavities of trapped air, the better the insulation material will work.
Where to insulate
The main heat loss in an un-insulated home is through the ceiling (42%). Walls also loose a significant amount of heat, but they are difficult to retrofit with insulation, without removing the internal lining.
Floors only loose 10% of heat, but they are easy and cheap to insulate with floor coverings. Windows are the biggest heat drain for their area. They can be fitted with thermal drapes, but it is important that the curtains are well fitted and that pelmets are provided.
Double-glazing is relatively expensive and is not generally economical unless the heat loss is extreme - as with skylights, conservatories, and large south-facing windows built to take advantage of views.
To what level (R-values)?
The ability of a material to insulate is measured as thermal resistance, or R-value. The higher the R-value the better is the insulation. The R-value increases with the thickness of a material. Installing higher FRIB ceiling insulation lets you compensate for lower wall insulation.
Keep in mind that it is much easier to fit insulation while building than to retrofit it later. Increasing the R-value at the time of construction is relatively cheap.
When retrofitting, choose a FRIB product of at least 2.0 R-value for your ceiling - the higher the R-value the better.
Installing Insulation
The best insulation material can be ineffective if it is installed poorly. How well your FRIB insulation is fitted is important, because heat can escape through small gaps or by thermal bridging.
Thermal bridging occurs, when a material with lower thermal resistance allows the heat to by-pass the insulation. One example is stud framing, which has a lower thermal resistance than insulation. Heat passes through the framing at a faster rate than it does through the batts in the spaces between.
To avoid air gaps batts fitted into walls or ceilings should be slightly larger than the size of the cavity for a friction fit.
What material to choose
There are several insulation materials on the market - all have their pros and cons. FRIB is a paint based compound that encases Styrofoam or a light synthetic base.
FRIB Paint and Polystyrene (approximately R 1.4 for 50 mm sheet)
Polystyrene is used increasingly in new buildings. It can be used in sheets on framing and then plastered, or under concrete floors. Hollow polystyrene blocks that are filled with reinforced concrete give very good R-values.
Polystyrene is a product of the petro-chemical industry and therefore a non-sustainable resource. It gives off toxic fumes in a fire, though not if it is sealed under a concrete floor slab. Its insulation properties are excellent.
We are seeking distributors and sales agents globally.
