Metac

Thermal Performance

Metac has a thermal conductivity of 0.034 W/mK. It can be installed in a range of pitched roof rafter systems to meet and exceed Building Regulations.
 

Acoustic Performance

Many homeowners living in loft spaces are affected by external noise such as aircraft, trains, road traffic and weather. Unlike many other insulating materials, Metac’s sound absorbing properties enhance acoustic comfort by helping to reduce this external noise. Independent testing* has shown that when installed into a pitched roof at rafter level, Metac can provide a weighted sound reduction of 49 dB (Rw)

Cost Effectiveness

Metac is a great value solution compared to other insulation materials. To discover how much you could save on your next project, please request a sales call using the link above.

Ease of Install

Accurately fitting some alternative rigid board materials between rafters can be difficult. This can lead to increase installation time and air gaps that can compromise the thermal & acoustic performance of the roof. Metac is quick and easy to handle and cut. It doesn’t ‘slump’ when installed & can be easily friction fitted between rafters, minimising air gaps. 

Low Waste Solution

Installation of some alternative rigid board materials can lead to large amounts of off cuts and waste. Metac generates minimal waste during installation and any offcuts can be re-used within tighter rafter spaces.

Fire Performance

Metac is classed as ‘non-combustible’, achieving an A1 Euroclass rating (the best attainable).

Recycled Content

Metac is manufactured from up to 80% recycled glass.
 

Airtightness and mositure management 

We recommend that Metac is installed in conjunction with the Vario® system within the pitched roof space. Designed to deliver airtightness within the loft space, Vario® will help you meet and exceed the latest Building Regulations and protect the timber structure from moisture damage.
