Everything you need to know about insulation boards in one course! Learn about the different insulation materials and products available for internal, external and cavity wall construction, as well as techniques for correct fitting and avoiding cold bridging.
This Bonding, Taping and Positioning Insulation Board course starts off with an overview of the different insulation board types available for internal, external and cavity walls, including the installation methods for each. Then, you’ll learn about the importance of getting the bonding, taping and positioning of insulation boards right all-around a building’s structure, as well as finding out about the consequences of non-compliance.
In the afternoon, you’ll have the chance to install insulation boards into a cavity, according to the instructions given by your Trainer and paying particular attention to their bonding, taping and positioning.
