Data sheets containing a range of key product information are crucial to improving UK building standards.
Their details relating to specification, installation, performance, maintenance and accreditation support the decision-making process, assuring buyers of a product or material’s quality and project suitability.
Incorrect product choices based on inaccurate, incomplete or misleading information can result in gaps between the specification and the actual product’s performance. For example, achieving compliant energy standards or targeted U-values is jeopardised when insulation falls short of design expectations due to misinformation or misinterpretation. In such cases, costly and time-consuming refurbishment is a potential outcome. If not addressed, the end-user could be in line for higher-than-necessary fuel bills, with environmental impacts a further knock-on effect. A building’s structural and fire safety could also be compromised by unclear or unreliable product data.
Technical library documents Gradient product and performance
Available via our online Technical Library, Gradient has a raft of literature, including data sheets, certificates, installation instructions, ‘how to’ videos and much more to support regulation compliance and specific U-value requirements with our insulation. This level of guidance on the specification and usage of our products is testament to our adherence to best practice principles and advancing building standards and performance.
