Another major commercial project showcasing the versatility of BASF Elastospray LWP.
Work is progressing at The Dunard Centre, Edinburgh, where Site Group Ltd is carrying out the installation of BASF Elastospray LWP to the below-ground pile wall, ahead of the specified waterproofing system.
So, what makes BASF Elastospray LWP such a good fit for applications like this?
✔️ Seamless coverage – follows complex profiles and irregular concrete surfaces.
✔️ Excellent adhesion – bonds directly to the substrate without the need for mechanical fixings.
✔️ High thermal performance – delivers effective insulation in a relatively thin application.
✔️ Continuity of insulation – helps minimise gaps, joints and potential thermal weak points.
✔️ Efficient installation – spray application allows large and challenging areas to be treated efficiently.
✔️ Simplified site logistics – a relatively small number of drums can be delivered to site, avoiding the need for multiple concrete deliveries and reducing vehicle movements, site congestion and delivery coordination.
For main contractors, engineers, architects and specifiers, these practical advantages can make a real difference, particularly on complex projects with restricted access and demanding programmes.
BASF Elastospray LWP – high-performance insulation with practical advantages beyond the product itself.

SPETEC® STOP HF300 is a fast-reacting, high-expansion injection resin designed for cutting off large-flow, high-pressure water leaks.
Its water-reactive, closed-cell formulation rapidly expands on contact with water, making it particularly suited to challenging applications including:
• Foundations & retaining structures
• Sheet pile and secant pile walls
• Tunnels and underground structures
• Sewers and manholes

Tested. Certified. Proven.
Another container conversion project is underway, with DoodleBuild working alongside our accredited installer Spray Insulations, using BASF Elastospray LWP 1672/1.
The project specification includes 50mm of BASF Elastospray LWP 1672/1 to the walls and ceilings. Its closed-cell structure provides a continuous insulation layer, helping deliver air tightness, high thermal performance, as well as helping to control condensation within the steel container environment.
The Elastospray system is combined with Stofire, an intumescent coating, to achieve a Euroclass B fire rating
Importantly, Elastospray LWP 1672/1 and Stofire have been tested and certified as a system — providing confidence that the specified solution delivers proven fire performance, rather than relying on individual product claims.
A great example of the collaboration between DoodleBuild, Spray Insulations and ECON, bringing together specialist conversion expertise, accredited installation and technical product support.
Great work by everyone involved.

Case Study | Delivering Safer, Warmer Social Housing for Enfield Council
How can local authorities improve the thermal performance of ageing housing stock while also addressing fire safety, moisture management and long-term asset protection?
Our latest case study showcases how Enfield Council, working alongside Site Group Ltd and ECON Building Products, successfully upgraded Rutland Court and Rendlesham Road using FIRETITE Clay Foam Insulation.
The retrofit delivered:
‣Improved thermal efficiency to help reduce energy consumption and fuel poverty.
‣A non-combustible cavity wall insulation solution with excellent fire performance.
‣Long-term moisture management to help reduce the risk of damp and mould.
‣Minimal disruption for residents throughout the installation.
With increasing pressure on councils and housing providers to deliver safer, more energy-efficient homes while protecting existing assets, innovative retrofit solutions are becoming more important than ever.
Take a read of the full case study to see how FIRETITE is helping future-proof social housing across the UK.

RETROFIT WITHOUT COMPROMISE
When specifying cavity wall insulation for social housing and retrofit programmes, thermal performance is only part of the equation.
Today's housing providers must also consider:
✅ Fire safety
✅ Moisture management
✅ Occupant wellbeing
✅ Sustainability targets
✅ Long-term building performance
That's where FIRETITE Clay Foam Insulation is different.
Unlike traditional cavity wall insulation materials such as fibre or bead systems, FIRETITE combines thermal efficiency with an A2-s1,d0 fire classification, making it a limited combustibility solution suitable for both new-build and retrofit projects.
Its unique open-pore mineral structure allows walls to remain breathable, helping moisture vapour escape whilst remaining hydrophobic and water repellent. This supports healthier building fabric and can reduce the risks associated with trapped moisture within cavity constructions.
For local authorities and retrofit coordinators adopting a fabric-first approach, FIRETITE offers:
🔹 Class A2 fire-rated cavity insulation
🔹 Excellent thermal performance (λ = 0.034 W/mK)
🔹 Vapour-open, breathable construction
🔹 Water-repellent properties
🔹 Seamless cavity fill with no settlement gaps
🔹 Contribution towards BREEAM credits and sustainability objectives
As retrofit programmes continue to focus on reducing fuel poverty, improving comfort and lowering carbon emissions, selecting insulation that balances energy efficiency, fire performance and moisture control has never been more important.
