WALLTITE from BASF - A spray foam insulation system for internal walls and roofs that provides a seamless airtight solution, which, unlike conventional insulation materials, is spray applied.

1. About WALLTITE

   WALLTITE spray foam insulation provides the building owner with superior performance combined with complete airtightness and strength.

   1. Why Sprayfoam?

      Choosing the right material is as important as investing in insulating our buildings in the first place – there is little point doing it if the insulation can’t offer good enough performance to really make a difference, or isn’t going to be up to the job in the long term.

   2. BASF At A Glance

      BASF is the world’s leading chemical company: The Chemical Company. Its portfolio ranges from chemicals, plastics, performance products and agricultural products to oil and gas.

   3. Foam Masters Contractor Network

      WALLTITE is only installed by BASF-trained professionals. A nationwide network of Approved Contractors is available throughout the UK.

   4. Accreditations

      WALLTITE is currently being stringently tested under the award winning BASF Eco-Efficiency Analysis programme. The scheme assesses the total cost and ecological impact of a product over its lifecycle. WALLTITE outperformed traditional materials on its test scores showing significant environmental and economic advantages.

2. Applications
   1. Roofs
      1. New Pitched Roof

         WALLTITE is applied directly to the breathable roofing membrane between timber rafters in tiled or slated pitched roofs - BBA Approved Application.

      2. Refurbished pitched roof

         WALLTITE can be applied directly onto the underside of existing slate or tiled roofs. It seals any air gaps, preventing the ingress of windblown snow, rain, dust and unwanted air infiltration - BBA Approved Application.

      3. Room in a roof

         The versatility of in-situ applied WALLTITE insulation foam makes it an ideal material for use in loft conversions. It can be applied to external solid or cavity walls, separating or party walls, knee or side walls, flat and pitched roofs - BBA Approved Application.

      4. External roofs

         WALLTITE can be applied to the external surfaces of corrugated and profiled roof cladding. The in-situ application overcomes problem areas such as cracked roofing sheets and glazing, perished fixing bolt seals and gaps in the sheeting.

   2. Walls
      1. New timber frame wall

         WALLTITE is applied directly between the studs onto the OSB. The stud is sufficient to meet the recommended elemental U-value. Unwanted air leakage and air infiltration is minimised and sound attenuation improved - BBA Approved Application.

      2. Refurbished solid masonry wall with timber frame

         WALLTITE can be applied directly onto a solid masonry wall, between 90mm or 140mm timber studs, without the need for traditional adhesion promotors or mechanical fixings - BBA Approved Application.

      3. Refurbished solid masonry wall with steel stud

         WALLTITE can be applied directly onto a solid masonry wall, between 90mm or 140mm timber studs, without the need for traditional adhesion promotors or mechanical fixings. Mechanical and electrical services can be fixed between the foam and the plasterboard - BBA Approved Application.

      4. Hard to Treat Cavities
   3. Special
      1. Masonry cavity walls

         WALLTITE is used to restore the structural stability and reduce the thermal transmittance of existing cavity walls, with masonry inner and outer levels, in which the conventional wall ties have corroded - BBA Approved Pending.

      2. External soffits

         WALLTITE in-situ applied PUR insulation foam can be applied directly to the underside of either concrete or steel hollow rib design, ground floor structures - BBA Approved Pending.

      3. Concrete slab ground floor

         WALLTITE is applied directly to the concrete. Under-floor heating pipes can be fixed to the foam with the normal clips. A layer of tamped or self-levelling screed is applied, usually to a depth of 75mm - BBA Approved Application.

      4. Existing timber suspended floor (cellars)

         WALLTITE floor insulation is advisable where underfloor heating is installed. The foam barrier separates heated and unheated rooms and in this way, reduces any loss of valuable heating energy into spaces where it is not needed. Rooms with just occasional use benefit from WALLTITE insulation, as the floor heats up more rapidly.

   3. Technical Support

      The WALLTITE team would be please to assist with any technical queries that may arise, if you are thinking of using WALLTITE insulation and air barrier system. There is a dedicated team based at our manufacturing plant in Derbyshire, a range of external consultants are on hand, plus the Global experience provided by the BASF sprayfoam network.

   4. Material Performance

      Thermal conductivity tests for WALLTITE and a comparison against traditional systems.

   5. Testing

      WALLTITE has undergone a comprehensive test regime, even beyond UK certification requirments. BASF is continuously aiming at ensuring its produts performance and fit for purpose by validating its products’ performances.

   6. Health and Safety

      BASF Polyurethanes U.K. Ltd supports Responsible Care, the worldwide initiative of the chemical industry, and thus commits itself to continual safety, health and environmental protection.

   7. Foam Masters

      The WALLTITE Approved Contractors scheme (FOAM MASTERS) ensures that contractors who install our products are fully trained and supported by our technical team.

   8. Self-Build

      A significant proportion of heat loss in a typical home is lost due to air leakage, poor insulation, leaky ducts, inefficient windows and doors, to name a few, and so, with fuel prices going through the pain barrier, there has never been a better time to plug the gaps and lock out the cold.
