Project Overview
The client required a ‘sunroom’ extension to their house which was built in 1835. Using 172mm TEK panels and a single glulam beam, they created a light and airy, vaulted space that is very energy efficient, yet in-keeping with the older, original building.
Kingspan TEK was used for the following reasons: –
- Higher insulation and less cold bridging
- Reduced need for skilled tradesmen
- No need to manually fit additional insulation
- No damage to insulation by fitting services
- Reduced wall thickness gave more internal space
The client has insulated the original building and has only turned the central heating on a few times as at early December with occasional secondary heating use for comfort; “With outside temperature varying from 3 to 10 degrees, temperature in the house varies from 15 to 18 degrees, with no heating”
