A closed panel product could see a property's
energy efficiency receive a significant boost, it has been suggested.
The development of a closed panel system could see gas and electric bills be significantly reduced, the licensees of the product claim.
Mike Cruickshank, sales director of Scotframe Timber Engineering, states that its SupaWall product "is every bit as good as and, in many respects, better than any of the low-carbon, high-sustainability products" currently available in continental Europe and North America.
Those interested in boosting the energy efficiency of their home could be interested to hear the firm's assertion that the SupaWall - which sees every void in wall panels injected with high-performance
insulation and locked together with airtight seals - could remove the need for a property to have a conventional central heating system.
Instead, it harnesses the energy released into the atmosphere by household appliances such as kettles and cookers.
Mr Cruickshank adds that the product "offers a realistic solution to the problem of
fuel poverty, especially in the affordable housing sector".
Steps to help people achieve
cheaper gas and electricity bills were recently unveiled in Norfolk as the Wherry Housing Association launched its Greening-the-Box initiative where a property in Ringland was fitted with new double glazing and improved
insulation.
And with the only heating coming from an electric underfloor system, the home does not have any boilers, gas fires or radiators.
