Based in the Languedoc-Roussillon area of France, ACTIS is a small company that specialises in the design and manufacture of innovative insulation solutions for buildings. For more than thirty years ACTIS has been constantly investing in order to offer insulation solutions which are increasingly more efficient in terms of energy savings.
Founded in 1980, ACTIS is now the European market leader in the sector of thin multifoil insulation.
Since 31 January 2003, ACTIS has been part of the Laurent Thierry Group - a group of manufacturers of technical textiles for the automobile industry - which has around 210 employees.
ACTIS is now the benchmark for multifoil insulation products, with over 70 million m2 already installed and nearly 700,000 homes insulated.
In line with its commitment in 2003 to adopt a continuous improvement plan certified to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001, ACTIS launched in 2009 a range of wood fibre insulation products to complement its thin multifoil reflective insulation products which includes the popular TRISO-SUPER 10 :
> TRISO-SUPER 10 thin thermo-reflective insulation is ideal for pitched-roof over-rafter, under-rafter, attic conversions and dormer applications.
TRISO-SUPER 10 has the specific advantage of minimising the height of the roof line, due to the relative thinness of the construction. The product is only 30mm thick, and is thermally equivalent to 210mm of mineral wool*.
Scientifically designed in a laboratory and validated under real-life conditions, TRISO-SUPER 10 provides thermal insulation which is heat-reflective, counteracting all modes of heat transfer all year round. It is highly effective in retaining heat inside in winter, and reflecting infra-red radiation in the summer, therefore preventing the overheating of attic rooms.
*Thermal efficiency measured under real conditions by TRADA Technology Ltd, and equivalent to 210mm of mineral wool as certified by BM TRADA Certification Ltd. BM TRADA certificate no BIPS 0102.
