These set the temperature profile and the surface check. They do not change the U-value, which is a property of the build-up.

Scope

A calculation to check, not a certificate. The conductivities listed are the range the published tables give and are a starting point only — a submission is built on the certificate for the actual product. Repeating thermal bridges at junctions, fixings and reveals are not included, and neither is a full interstitial condensation assessment. Nothing typed here leaves the page.

      Bridging is handled by the combined method. Where the two limits part company by more than half, the method is past its range and the page says so.
