Ben Jones and Corinne Evans-Jones have showcased their sustainable home extension using the Actis Hybrid range on YouTube and Instagram with the aim of saving other self-builders the hassle of researching the best way to convert a loft
The couple wanted to create living space in the loft of their Newquay bungalow, and one key requirement was to source sustainable insulation products. When they heard about the Actis Hybrid range they decided this was the answer they had been looking for – and roped in ever-willing Actis sales manager Tom Hendzel to show them how to install it.
Tom gladly stepped in to show the couple how to install honeycomb style insulation Hybris and insulating vapour control layer H Control Hybrid in the dormer walls and ceiling.
The video diary shows the start-to-finish process
The couple chose Actis following recommendations about its eco credentials, and the fact that it is quick, clean and easy to install – with no fibres or dust to contend with!
Ben explained: “Having outgrown our bungalow and needing more space but not wanting to leave our first family home we made the decision to extend up into the loft. We spent a long time trying to find how others had done something similar, what products and materials they used. We found lots of amazing finished conversions, but none that showed the whole process.”
So he and Corinne hope the video will provide all the answers asked by others in their situation.
Actis Hybris range is environmentally friendly
As well as their famed ease and cleanliness of installation, Actis Hybris scores highly on the environmental front and has earned two environmental certifications in the past couple of years.
It is the only reflective insulation in Europe to have earned international Cradle to Cradle certification, which praises the insulation specialist’s zero waste policy, Hybris’ 100% recyclability, and the lower fuel consumption used during production and transportation.
Hybris has also received several Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) which emphasise the product’s impressive cradle to grave environmental footprint.
Actis is reducing its environmental impact further, with plans to see all five of its production plants in South-West France fully solar-powered by the end of 2024 already under way.
