Retrofit Barrier

The InstaGroup Retrofit Barrier offers substantial value in multiple key areas

• Cost Savings
  The Retrofit Barrier is 20-50 times cheaper than traditional methods, which typically involve the removal of cladding and re-insulating the building.
  
  The installation process is faster, with significantly lower labour and material costs, ensuring a substantial reduction in overall project budgets.
• Minimal Tenant Disruption
  The Retrofit Barrier system is installed externally via small 22mm holes, meaning that there is no need for tenant relocation or major disruptions to daily activities.
  
  The system can be installed quickly (50-70m2 per day), often in a fraction of the time compared to traditional remediation solutions.
• Enhanced Thermal Efficiency
  The system fills the cavity voids with A1 fire-grade insulation, which enhances the thermal properties of the building, reducing energy consumption and improving the overall energy efficiency of the building.
  
  By improving insulation, the system also contributes to the long-term sustainability of the building, reducing future energy costs.
• Durability and Long-Term Value
  The Retrofit Barrier has a service life equivalent to the building's lifespan, expected to last 60+ years. Once installed, it requires minimal maintenance, reducing future operational costs.
  
  The system is not susceptible to damage from common environmental factors like moisture or temperature fluctuations.
• Broad Application
  Accredited only for light gauge steel-framed buildings with masonry external leaves. However, the system would be applicable to other building types such as RC framed buildings.
  
  Approved for use in England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland with a possible extension to our accreditation in Southern Ireland coming in 2025.
