Improved timber frame insulating elements
An insulating timber frame building element (10) defining at last one cavity (22) and comprises a polymeric foam (42) within the at least one cavity (22), wherein the polymeric foam (42) is formed within the at least one cavity (22) from a polymeric foam precursor (38). The polymeric foam precursor (38) is expanded within the at least one cavity (22) by a blowing agent. The blowing agent substantially comprises pentane (n-pentane, iso-pentane, cyclo-pentane or mixtures thereof). Further blowing agents which may be used in addition to pentane are methyl formate, formic acid, hexane, heptane, water, CO2, sodium bicarbonate, titanium hydride, light alcohols, ketones and ethers. The polymer may be selected from addition polymers (e.g. polystyrene) or condensation polymers (e.g. polyurethane or polyisocyanate). Some aspects of the invention relate to the field of fabricating elements for building thermally insulated homes.
