Woodknowledge Wales

‘How-to’ event introducing the use of natural insulation as a solution to the external insulation of walls.

Transforming Timber Enterprise

Trawsnewid Menter Pren | Transforming Timber Enterprise: Inspiration, knowledge and skills for a zero-carbon built environment.  A series of 'How-to' training events for built environment professionals and students, delivered in collaboration with CWIC.

The UK has 28.5m homes, and some of the oldest homes in Europe. Wales has 1.35m or 5% of UK homes and almost a third were built before 1919. Most are of solid wall construction and nearly half of them have no wall insulation. This has to change. But insulating walls externally in a way that protects both the health of the occupants and the building is not straightforward. The purpose of this ‘how-to’ event is to introduce the use of natural insulation as a solution to the external insulation of walls.Audience: Housing development and asset management professionals, architects, contractors, studentsFormat: Online (via Zoom)Speakers: Nick Heath (NDM Heath Ltd), Mark Lynn (Thermafleece), Simon Ayres (Lime Green)PROGRAMME10.00 Welcome and introduction - Gary Newman, Woodknowledge Wales10.10	What are the challenges of internal wall insulation? - Nick Heath, NDM Heath Ltd10.30	How does natural insulation help? - Mark Lynn (Thermafleece &amp; the Natural Fibre Insulation Group)10.50	How do you install it? - Simon Ayres, Lime Green11.10	Q&amp;A11.30	Close
