KORE Insulation is proud to announce that the KORE Insulated Foundation System has received British Board of Agrément (BBA) Certification. This achievement underscores the high quality, durability, and performance of our innovative foundation system and expands its availability across Northern Ireland and the United Kingdom.
This certification, BBA Certificate No. 24/7229, complements our existing NSAI certification for the Republic of Ireland, enabling KORE to offer its insulated foundation system with full regulatory approval in these markets. By meeting the rigorous standards of both the NSAI and the BBA, KORE has solidified its position as a leading provider of sustainable, high-performance insulation solutions.
Expanding Opportunities with BBA Certification
The KORE Insulated Foundation System is designed to meet the needs of low-rise residential construction projects. It offers superior thermal performance, energy efficiency, and compliance with building regulations across multiple regions. The system is now certified for use with traditional masonry, timber frame, metal frame constructions, and insulating concrete forms (ICF) for a wide range of buildings, from single-family homes to multi-unit developments.
“Achieving BBA certification for the KORE Insulated Foundation System is a significant milestone for our team,” said Steven Magee, Sales Director at KORE Insulation. “This recognition not only validates the exceptional quality and performance of our product but also opens new opportunities for us to serve the UK and Northern Ireland markets. We’re proud to offer a solution that combines energy efficiency, sustainability, and compliance, empowering builders and homeowners to construct better, more resilient buildings.”
The Key Benefits
The BBA certification process assessed the KORE Insulated Foundation System on several critical factors, including:
- Energy Efficiency: The system contributes to near-zero energy building standards with outstanding thermal insulation properties, offering declared thermal conductivity values as low as 0.033W/mK for key components.
- Sustainability: With a lifespan meeting the lifetime of the building, and components that are recyclable, the system supports sustainable construction practices.
- Regulatory Compliance: The system meets stringent building regulations in Northern Ireland, England, Wales, and Scotland, including resistance to moisture, structural stability, and energy conservation.
In addition, KORE’s Insulated Foundation System offers the user many benefits, including maximising efficiencies on-site by reducing labour, concrete and waste, while also offering a reduced embodied carbon when compared to a typical strip or raft foundation.
Setting the Standard for Insulation Solutions
By achieving BBA certification, KORE reinforces its commitment to delivering cutting-edge insulation systems that exceed market expectations. This milestone enables us to provide even greater value to builders, architects, and homeowners across the UK and Ireland.
