Bonded Beads

The beads are a closed cell structure so it will not absorb water by capillary action. Water which penetrates the outer leaf of the cavity wall drain, down the cavity face of the outer leaf. This is demonstrated as follows.

Beads can only touch each other at one point and because water will take the easiest route. It does which is down and not across

KORE Fill is a bonded bead, complete cavity wall fill insulation system for application in new and existing buildings.

Description

KORE Fill is expanded polystyrene injected in bead form into a cavity to form an insulating mass. The bead solidifies in the cavity as it is injected along with a special bonding agent. This insulating mass significantly reduces thermal transmittance across the cavity. Filling the cavity completely with KORE Fill will not diminish the original function of the cavity. The cavity will still be able to breath, the bead will not absorb water and will not allow the transfer of water across the cavity to the inner leaf.

KORE Advantages
Excellent thermal performance, immediate energy saving results, specialist insulation installers, complete insulation fill every time, concrete construction benefits.
Installation
The bead and bonding agent is injected, through drill holes, into the cavity using specifically designed equipment. The material packs to a uniform density inside the cavity. Once the proper drilling pattern and injection sequence is followed the cavity will be completely filled. Installation of the KORE Fill Cavity Wall Insulation must only be carried out by Airpacks Ltd or by our approved Installers. For details of your local installer please contact Airpacks Ltd.

This Certificate relates to KOREFill Cavity Wall Insulation. The bonded bead is an expanded polystyrene material which is injected in bead form with a binding agent into the cavity walls.

Frequently asked Questions

What is KORE Fill?

KORE Fill is a bonded bead, complete cavity wall fill insulation system for application in new and existing buildings. KORE Fill is expanded polystyrene and special bonding agent injected in bead form into a cavity to form an insulating mass.

Who Installs the KORE Fill Bead?

Only fully trained KORE Fill installers may install the product. Each KORE Fill installer is registered with the Irish Agrément Board (IAB) and undergoes continuous monitoring by both Airpacks Ltd and the IAB. Eco Home Insulation is registered with IAB and is also monitored by Airpacks Ltd

How is the Insulation Installed into the Cavity?

For existing buildings KORE Fill is installed from the outside of the building through drill holes. Upon completion the installer will fill the holes. For new buildings the KORE Fill is installed from the inside of the building once the building has been sealed from the elements.

If the Cavity is Filled what Prevents Moisture Movement?

The natural matrix formed by the bead means that moisture that penetrates the outer leaf will not travel through the cavity to the inner leaf. The water by natural gravity will flow to the weep holes at the bottom of the cavity. The bead bond together in a honeycomb type formation allowing air to circulate and the cavity to breath.

Can KORE Fill be Installed in Every Cavity?

In general once there is a 40mm cavity KORE Fill can be installed. Each installer will assess every potential project for suitability.

Is KORE Fill Suitable for Installation in Semi-Detached Houses?

Yes, your installer will insert a special brush during installation to prevent bead from entering the neighboring wall. The brush is removed when the bead solidifies.
