CAVITY SPACE. CONQUERED.
energystore spacebead® combines EPS Beads, Aerogel and Adhesive to create next-generation injected insulation. The patent pending CWI system is designed for use in new & existing buildings up to 18m in height.
FEATURES
Thermal insulation that’s out of this world
energystore spacebead® injects insulation technology used by NASA into your cavity wall.
λ0.029
energystore spacebead® offers the best thermal performance on the market for insulation with a declared thermal conductivity of 0.029.
……………….
This thermal performance will be the only injected insulation that will be able to fit Future Homes building regulations without having to extend the width of the cavity.*
……………….
*compared to available alternatives
LIGHT-YEARS AHEAD
1. Market leading thermal conductivity
The (patent pending) innovation of spacebead, brings a giant leap for thermal performance of injected insulation. Housebuilders using spacebead achieve better U-Values and Psi-Values in like-for-like wall thickness.
2. Save space in wall design
As the U-Value requirements continue to become more demanding, spacebead enables designers to continue to use full fill insulation without increasing the cavity width.
3. Supersonic programme speed
All the speed of full fill insulation with the smallest build footprint possible.
4. Unrivalled embodied carbon
spacebead combines aerogel made from waste with superbead’s excellent embodied carbon characteristics.
5. Leave the science to energystore
We manufacture and install spacebead, providing universe leading service.
energystore spacebead®
the only way to meet Future Homes Standard with 100mm injected CWI
Standards are changing in the UK and Ireland. Using our transformative system, installed by trained experts, eliminates the potential loss of performance from gaps between built-in insulation products.
In the UK, the Future Homes Standard being implemented from 2025 will require huge reductions in carbon emissions new homes. That challenge doesn't have to mean wider cavities. energystore spacebead® is the only full fill injected insulation that can help meet FHS compliance with a 100mm cavity.

Aerogel technology isn’t new. In fact, aerogels have been used in many industries for more than 30 years. However, the use of aerogel in construction has historically been limited to very niche applications due to cost.
This is about to change
We have developed aerogels that are made from building waste using patented manufacturing processes. The result is energystore spacebead®, the UK’s first aerogel based insulation for widescale adoption in domestic housebuilding.
This is our story…
AEROGEL PROCESS
We take construction product waste (eg an unused brick). We extract silica from the waste using a patented manufacturing process.
We then use a patented continuous batching process to turn the waste into aerogel. This innovation creates aerogel at a cost point which works in the construction industry
SUPERBEAD MANUFACTURING PROCESS
Raw EPS is produced by our suppliers using a process known as cracking to create various hydrocarbons.
The raw EPS is shipped to us by road, using renewable fuels for the entire journey.
Once received at our manufacturing facilities, we expand the material with low temperature steam. The steam used requires considerably lower amounts of energy compared with alternative insulation.
INSTALL PROCESS
Our install teams leave each manufacturing facility with enough material to complete the job.
On site, the Aerogel and superbead is combined in a predetermined quantity using a patent pending installation method.
Our teams leave industry leading IT to record detailed post completion quality checks ideal for verifying quality of install.
