Non combustible and breathable version of PhotonFoil-A1, designed for cold side installation.
Application
Suitable for timber frame construction. Whilst PhotonFrame-A1 was developed for timber frame new build housing it is widely used in offsite construction of volumetric modular units where energy and moisture management are critical. It is also suitable for use in many external wall types (metal stud, concrete etc.).
Description
PhotonFrame-A1 is a highly breathable multi foil insulation designed for installation on the cold side of timber frame structures. It is constructed with a high density glasswool core encased in micro-perforated low emissivity outer layers. PhotonFrame-A1 has been certified as A1 non-combustible in accordance with BS EN13501-1 by BRE Global Ltd (Report Number Q100799-1003).
The product can be installed in combination with PhotonFoil to deliver Passivhaus standards of insulation with regular 140 mm glass filled studs.
The product has been independently tested and certified to the latest European Standards by accredited European test houses and has achieved LABC (Local Authority Building Control) Registered Details.
