Kelso, Melrose, Peebles and the mill towns are built of stone, and a lot of it sits in conservation areas where the outside can't change. A wood fibre lining on the inside is the breathable answer.
We cover Galashiels, Hawick, Peebles, Kelso, Selkirk, Jedburgh and Eyemouth. More about our work in Scottish Borders.
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.
★★★★★Clean and professional outfit, solid communication from start to finish and we are delighted with the finished product.
★★★★★Guys were on time and friendly. Did job in great time. Tidied up behind themselves. Would recommend.
Yes. We supply and fit wood fibre insulation across Scottish Borders, 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.
