Next up... Saturday 4th July (10:00 - 14:00) | Ventilation & Insulation
Creating a comfortable, healthy, and energy-efficient home starts with getting the building fabric right. At the NSBRC, we call this taking a ‘fabric first’ approach.
Insulation and ventilation work hand in hand to determine how your home performs - impacting everything from heat retention and energy bills to air quality and long-term durability. Getting this balance right early in the design stage is essential to avoid problems such as overheating, condensation & poor indoor air quality.
During your visit, you’ll be able to explore materials and systems, attend expert-led seminars, guided tours and book free 1-to-1 consultations to discuss your project questions & concerns.
Once your structure is defined, decisions around insulation and ventilation become critical. Whether you're building from scratch - or upgrading an existing home - this event will help you understand how to create a high-performance building envelope that delivers comfort, efficiency & longevity.
From choosing the right insulation materials to understanding ventilation systems such as MVHR(Mechanical Ventilation with Heat Recovery), our experts will guide you with practical advice and straightforward explanations. You’ll gain a clear picture of how different insulation types and ventilation strategies work together, helping you plan effectively - from first design decisions through to final installation.
