Condensation Risk & U-Value Calculations

Condensation can substantially reduce the performance of insulation and could affect a building’s integrity. In order to predict any potential condensation before installing insulation, a Condensation Risk Analysis can be performed. Determining the risk of ‘interstitial’ or ‘surface’ condensation in a building depends on the components of the assembly, the order in which they appear in the construction, the building’s use and its geographical location (the calculation is based on specific local Met Office Data).

TLX Insulation will carry out a full Condensation Risk Analysis for individual elements, performed in accordance with BS EN ISO 13788. We will also carry out U-Value calculations in accordance with BS EN ISO 6946.
