The September heatwave has seen a rise in enquiries for Actis insulation products, as architects and specifiers look for ways in which to keep homes cool amidst rising global temperatures and increasing bouts of sustained hot weather<\/h2>\n

The longest UK September heatwave on record has seen growing interest in the cooling qualities of Actis’ newest product – Eolis HC – as well as its long-established Hybrid range of insulation and insulating membranes Hybris, H Control Hybrid and Boost R Hybrid.<\/p>\n

All these Actis products can make a dramatic impact on the comfort of homes in hot weather, with new two-in-one Eolis HC<\/a>, a reflective insulation with an integrated vapour barrier, reflecting 95% of infrared radiation, courtesy of the revolutionary Triplex technology from which it is created.<\/p>\n

Eolis HC’s reflective properties could be the insulation solution you’re looking for<\/h4>\n

With temperatures hitting more than 30 degrees in parts of England for more than seven days in a row in September, specifiers are increasingly interested in the role insulation has to play in helping mitigate the effects of rising global temperatures<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With Part O of the building regulations obliging architects to limit unwanted solar gains and provide a way to remove heat from residential dwellings, choosing reflective insulation, which also acts as a coolant, is more effective than some traditional alternatives, which can make buildings unbearably hot.<\/p>\n

Adapting to rapidly changing weather extremes<\/h3>\n

Actis UK and Ireland sales director Mark Cooper said: “With forecasters and climate experts saying heatwaves will be the norm from now on, the need to ensure homes have the ability to stay both warm in winter and cool in summer – a previously unthinkable scenario – is now very real.”<\/p>\n

Previous occasions on which the mercury topped the 30-degree mark in the UK have lasted a mere three days and on only four occasions in the past century and a quarter – in 1898, 1906, 1911 and 2016.<\/p>\n
