Eco Insulate Ltd has won a contract to carry out room in roof insulation work to homes on the Isle of Lewis.

The scheme involves treating at least 40 properties for the Hebridean Housing Partnership (HHP).

The tender was issued as part of HHP's commitment to the Government's HEEPS-CAP programme and covered different options to insulate the properties. The spray and injectable foam solution was found to be the most practical and cost effective option as work to each property was likely to be completed in under one day and there was no need to decant tenants.


Eco Insulate will use Elastopor 2401H open cell breathable foam manufactured within the UK by BASF.

Work is scheduled to begin in early February, with completion by the middle of March.

Bryan Woods, Managing Director, Eco Insulate Ltd, said: "We're pleased to renew our business relationship with HHP and to be able to continue to help them meet the requirements of the Energy Efficiency Standards for Social Housing.

"It can be difficult to achieve these standards in more remote areas where their traditional buildings are off grid and have to rely on fossil fuel or electric heating. HHP's own independent consultants found that our open cell foam products can help meet the minimum standards required by the Government to help reduce Scotland's CO2 emissions."
