Comfort Frame – An IWI modular solution, designed to significantly improve the thermal efficiency of poorly performing residential and non-residential buildings.
Our Fabric First Internal Wall Insulation provides a ‘Comfort Frame’ that minimises heat loss during cold weather and reduces heat gain during warmer months.
Comfort Frame combines off-site manufacturing with unique de-coupled IWI insulation technology to deliver a fire-safe (A2,s1,d0), non-invasive solution that enhances thermal comfort, reduces energy consumption, eliminates mould, and minimizes environmental impact, creating healthier spaces for both residential and commercial applications.
This innovation keeps homes warm, reduces energy consumption, and future-proofs against dampness, mould & condensation. With a typical elevation taking just one day to install, Comfort Frame is non-invasive for tenants, eliminating the need for decanting and offering significant time and cost benefits as a scalable energy efficiency measure. Our system is installed by specialist installers trained in the application.
Here’s why Comfort Frame is becoming the go-to solution for energy efficiency:
- Safety First: Our A2-s1,d0 Reaction to Fire classification (EN 13501) with Stone wool insulation ensures a fire-safe design, making safety a top priority.
- Healthier Spaces: Our breathable design eliminates condensation and mould risks, creating healthier living and working environments.
- Tailored for Every Home: Our modular systems are fabricated offsite and customised to each property
- Tenant-Friendly: We keep disruption to a minimum—tenants do not need to move out—and a typical elevation is installed in one day.
- Tailored for Hard-to-Treat Buildings: This product is perfect for solid-walled, older properties that are often difficult to insulate, providing a modern solution to upgrading thermal performance.
- Efficient and Clean Installation: The system is designed for rapid assembly with pre-manufactured panels, clear instructions, and minimal site disturbance. Each of the five standard-sized panels can be adjusted to fit any wall width, with height adjustments made easily using a foot component.
- Breathable & Thermally Efficient: The system features a self-adhesive breathable vapour control membrane, which ensures moisture management while providing a highly efficient thermal upgrade.
- Factory-Pre-Painted: Panels come pre-coated with two undercoats of white paint, minimising the need for additional on-site decoration and further reducing disruption to occupants.
- Quick Drying Jointing: The system’s 1.5mm rebated joints, combined with a 1mm thick jointing tape and minimal joint compound, allow for fast drying times and an aesthetically pleasing finish.
Installation Process:
1. Survey & Custom Design: Each installation begins with a thorough survey of the property, focusing on cold, outside-facing walls. The system is then custom-designed and manufactured for a perfect fit.
2. Efficient Setup: The installation starts with the application of a vapour control membrane to the existing wall structure, followed by the fitting of the base, head, and wall tracks. An air gap of 25mm is ensured between the insulation and the wall to prevent cold bridging.
3. Panel Installation: Panels are then placed into position, with simple adjustments for a firm, level fit. A stud secures the panels together, creating a strong and seamless joint.
4. Reinforced Strength: Compression dampers are added strategically, creating a bi-directional force that strengthens the wall structure.
5. Finishing Touches: Once the panels are in place, the jointing tape is applied to the rebated joints, followed by a quick-drying joint compound to complete the installation.
