On April 23rd 2007 MP Kenneth Clarke visited the Gamston Mobile Park Home in Nottingham to inspect and discuss the highly successful trial results. The new unique Paraclad panels had:

  • Improved the U-value performance by 55% from 0.930 W/m 2 K to 0.410 W/m 2 K
  • Reduced fuel usage significantly
  • Resulted in the Park Home almost complying with Building Regulations for satisfactory home insulation

"We hope that more park homers can be fitted with this type of insulation to improve heating and health to householders. This experience helps demonstrate that these traditionally hard-to-heat properties can be successfully insulated."
