Overview
This revolutionary new material is installed and performs in exactly the same way as traditional mineral fibre insulation but, thanks to the absence of floating fibres, unpleasant working conditions have been relegated to a thing of the past.
In contrast with mineral fibre, which requires a large amount of energy in its production, the manufacture of Non-Itch creates a very low carbon footprint as the expended energy is very low. For every 1 ton of plastic bottles used in the manufacture of Non-Itch Loft Insulation, 1.5 tons of carbon emissions are prevented from polluting the atmosphere; this is even before the product is installed, at which point it continues to reduce your carbon footprint and benefit the environment.
YBS Non-Itch is fully tested and certified insulation (UKAS Cert. 1145 - 738 : Agrément No's. BPD 07-217/8, Patent Pending) offers specifiers, housebuilders, contractors the opportunity to install insulation into lofts, partitions and timber frame buildings without any of the drawbacks normally experienced with glass or mineral wools.
Non-Itch Insulation is supplied in easy to handle rolls designed to be installed in exactly the same way as mineral fibre or fibre glass and provides the same thermal conductivity

Application
Installation of slabs should start below the DPC (preferably by at least 150mm) to minimise cold bridging. The first row of ties should be at 450mm centres horizontally. The width of cut batts should always be 5mm greater than the width to be insulated, eg wall tie centres.
Build up a complete section of the leading leaf to one course above the next row of wall ties spaced at max. 900 mm horizontally. Ensure that all mortar joints are properly filled, particularly the perpends.
It is essential that all joints between Non-Itch slabs are clean and tightly butted. Fit Non-Itch cavity slabs by compressing between the two rows of wall ties to form a clean and tight butt jointed course. To prevent water penetration to the inner leaf during driving rain, it is essential that no gaps are left between the slabs.
Fit the slabs closely around wall openings. Slit the slabs neatly where additional wall ties occur.
At corner joints, edges must be closely butted. Cut the slabs accurately to fit between wall ties, if not conventionally coursed.
Handling and Storage
Non-Itch Cavity Insulation slab 39 is easy to handle with no protective clothing and easy to install, being lightweight and easily cut to size. It is supplied in polythene packaging, designed for short term protection only.
Protect the top of the cavity wall insulation at the end of the work period with a waterproof covering. Store or cover Non-Itch cavity slabs not in use and protect from site damage.
