Argyll is one of the wettest parts of Scotland. On the stone villas of Helensburgh, Dunoon and Rothesay, a vapour-open wood fibre lining keeps the walls able to dry, which foil-backed boards can't.
We cover Oban, Helensburgh, Dunoon, Campbeltown, Rothesay and Lochgilphead. More about our work in Argyll & Bute.
Wood fibre is made from timber offcuts pressed into boards and flexible batts. It's vapour-open, so moisture can pass through it and dry out, and it can take up and release moisture without losing much of its insulating value. That's exactly what solid stone and older brick walls need.
It costs more than foil-backed PIR, and it's thicker for the same result. On stone, it's worth it. See a Skye croft house we did in wood fibre.
★★★★★Really impressed with Scottherm Insulation. The installers were organised, tidy, and clearly took pride in their work.
★★★★★Clean and professional outfit, solid communication from start to finish and we are delighted with the finished product.
Yes. We supply and fit wood fibre insulation across Argyll & Bute, with a free survey first to check the walls or roof are right for it.
It's one of the best options. It lets the wall dry through the insulation, where foil-backed boards can trap moisture against the stone.
Yes, usually more than mineral wool or PIR, and it's thicker for the same heat loss. On old stone buildings, the lower damp risk is why people choose it.
Grants fund the measure, such as internal wall insulation, rather than a brand of material. If you qualify, we'll tell you what's covered.
