This U-value calculation is provided to customers free of charge and is based on information you have entered. The construction must be approved by the Project Design Team or controlling authority before installation. This calculation must be read in conjunction with current literature at www.british-gypsum.com or www.isover.co.uk. British Gypsum/Isover products must be installed in accordance with current literature and relevant standards. The environmental conditions used are for the nearest location available to the project. Properties and suitability of non British Gypsum/Isover products must be verified with the manufacturer prior to installation. Bonded wall lining system identified assumes background suitability - where uncertainty exists an alternative mechanically fixed lining system should be considered. All solutions assume the background is dry and completely weather tight. Reference must be made to NHBC requirements, e.g. Section 6.1, Appendices 6.1-A and 6.2-B, to ascertain suitability of construction relative to exposure zone.
