Isopads are manufactured from 10mm thick Aerogel thermal insulation blankets. Aerogel is one of the best fire and thermal insulators in the market having been developed for NASA.

Isopads are supplied in precut and predilled format for use as an insulator on external wall cladding systems. They are also available in strip format for use with SFS type exterior wall systems. Their purpose is to reduce the thermal bridge between the structure and the elements fixed to it so they have other applications for example to isolate any fittings fixed back to the structure or around window and door frames.

Isopads are the best isolator in the market. In performance terms, one Max Isopad would be the equivalent to 10 plastic isolators (the most commonly used isolator) thereby dramatically improving the thermal performance of, for example, an external wall cladding system also enabling a reduction in the thickness of any mineral wool insulation blankets fixed to the wall. This produces cost and time savings for you not to mention overall thickness of the external wall lining.

Isopads have been tested by Warrington and achieved with an A2 rating with a droplet and smoke performance of d1, s0.

Max Isopads have been tested by Lucideon for freeze/thaw and have a life expectancy in excess of 60 years.

Currently there are two alternative isolators to Isopads in the market: plastic or mineral. Plastic is a poor thermal break, it melts, gives off smoke fumes and produces droplets in a fire situation weakening the whole structure fixed to the wall. Mineral isolators are better performing to plastic in terms of their thermal performance but need to be encased in a plastic housing.

Max Isopads are manufactured in our factory in the UK. For external cladding systems, we produce moulds to create pads to suit specific manufacturers’ systems.
