Purpose of the handbook

This handbook was prepared for Icopal Ltd (they can be contacted at www.icopal.com) and it provides three
thermal bridging junction details for a new dwelling, incorporating the Monarfloor Wall Cap – Lamatherm System.
The details are for a masonry external wall with full fill and partial fill cavity wall insulation, constructed using blocks
of different conductivity values and for a timber frame wall with a clear cavity. The drawings provided are for typical
details and show all the elements essential in achieving the calculated ␺-values. All other site requirements and
all relevant building regulations must be taken into consideration when implementing the details. This includes any
requirements for acoustic performance as they relate to those details.
Each detail in this handbook includes drawings of the junction, ␺-values calculated by an experienced thermal
modeller and a process checklist for use on site to facilitate the achievement of the calculated ␺-values.

List of Constructive Details

There are a total of three details, labelled CD0053, CD0054 and CD0055. To provide additional guidance for designers
and specifiers the corresponding E numbers given in the latest SAP conventions document are also included.
The Handbook covers the use of the product Monarfloor Wall Cap — Lamatherm System in masonry and timber
frame constructions.

 How to use this handbook

The details have been prepared in line with the range of U values appropriate to achieve compliance within The
Building Regulations 2010 (England and Wales), Part L. Therefore all of the building elements have an upper
U value limit of 0.30 W·m–2·K–1 for a wall inline with the limiting fabric parameters given in Approved Document L1A.
The ␺-values are provided for different bands of U values and stud dimensions. For each band the ␺-value is
calculated for the worst case after considering the effect of thickness and conductivity of insulation independently.
This ␺-value can therefore be taken for the complete range of U values quoted.
In all of the details the wall finish is drawn as per the client requirements. The ␺-values are also valid for
intermediate thermal conductivities of the blocks shown in the three details. It is also possible to use either
rendered block or brick for the outer leaf. As a general rule, unless a specific solution for a wall or floor finish is
either indicated in the Notes section or is explicitly mentioned in the annotations, it should be considered optional.
The main driver in selecting the materials for each detail would be to achieve the U value bands as provided in
each detail.
The manufacturer has provided specific air tightness solutions with regards to their system incorporated in the
details. This includes the use of clips and also parge coat (8 mm sand and cement parge coat on both external and
party walls) dependant upon the conductivity/density of the blocks. It is also noted that all three details have been
modelled using a full fill and a clear party wall cavity. The ␺-values quoted for the case of a full or an empty party
wall cavity are not significantly different, and therefore will apply in both cases.
A series of tips on interpreting the information in each Constructive Detail, is given below, starting from the first to
the last page.

Front page — Illustration

The drawing
The front page drawing is in full colour, and the annotations identify the critical parameters that must be observed in
order for this junction to achieve the calculated ␺-values. The annotations are also consistent with the wording used
in the Notes section, to make it easier to read and understand the important elements.

The notes
This section relates to the steps in the build process of the junction that are essential for the construction of the
detail with regards to achieving the stated ␺-values. Any other guidance by all relevant Building Regulations must
be followed and this detail focuses only on the thermal performance and provides basic guidance with regards to
air tightness.

Main body — ␺-values

The drawing
The second drawing provides additional information to that given on the front page. It highlights in colour the
product for which these details have been produced, in this case, Monarfloor Wall Cap — Lamatherm System.
It also indicates the position of the air barrier that must be maintained and provides the necessary information to
enable the U value calculation, based on the examples provided.

␺-values
A table of ␺-values (psi-values) and temperature factors is provided for each detail. The banding of U values and
the dimensions of the studs provide the specifier with the flexibility to use different U values for the main elements,
but ensure that the calculated ␺-value is still valid within that range. The ␺-values were calculated and checked by
an experienced individual, as required by Approved Document L1A, using the software THERM.
The temperature factor is a property of the construction and is used to assess the risk of surface condensation or
mould growth. This parameter is provided in all the junctions. In all cases the calculated values are higher than the
critical temperature factor for dwellings (0.75) as given in BRE Information Paper IP 1/06 Assessing the effects of
thermal bridging at junctions and around openings, which limits the risk of surface condensation or mould growth.
All ␺-values have been calculated in accordance with BRE Report 497 : 2007 Conventions for calculating linear
thermal transmittance and temperature factors and other relevant standards quoted within that document.

U value examples
Some indicative guidance on the insulation thickness and thermal conductivity values required to achieve the
U value example constructions in combination with the Monarfloor Wall Cap — Lamatherm System, are also
provided. Depending on the complexity of the detail, there are one or more U value bands available. There is no
specification for the type of insulation used, but the necessary information is provided to enable the calculations
to be repeated. The U values were calculated in accordance with BRE Report (BR 443: 2006) Conventions for
U-value calculations and other relevant British Standards.
A fully detailed U value calculation using the stated thickness and thermal conductivity values may produce lower
U values than that indicated in the details, as only the minimum amount of information is provided, such as the
use of different conductivity blocks, thickness and conductivity of insulation. Other combinations of thicknesses
and conductivities can be used to achieve the U values, and as long as these are within the bands provided, the
corresponding ␺-value will still be valid. This provides the user with considerable flexibility compared to more
traditional representations of ␺-values, while maintaining the accuracy and technical rigour of the calculation.

Last page — Checklist

Guidance checklist
This part of the detail relates to the quality assurance aspect, which used in combination with guidance given
on the first page, would provide reassurance to the builder that this detail will perform as expected. The Notes
box is intended for the inspector or the site supervisor to record any additional information or changes that may
have occurred to the final built detail. It can be used as a log of the work done for each detail and as a process
for checking by the site supervisor, to ensure the detail was constructed as detailed and so that the calculated
␺-values can be achieved.
