Welcome to Green Footprint Solutions Ltd.

Green Footprint Solutions is committed to the supply of insulation and construction materials that have the least impact on the environment.

We are an independent insulation distributor and manufacturer with over 35 years experience in the Construction and Agricultural industry. Based centrally in the East Midlands we cover the whole of the UK and Ireland.

Green Footprint Solutions promote and advise on the specification of thermal insulation products, in new and refurbished buildings. As buildings are responsible for over 43% of carbon emissions in the UK our aim is to reduce CO2 emissions and improve energy efficiency using sustainable building products.

We offer expertise and advise on the specification of Extruded Polystyrene, Expanded Polystyrene, Natural Insulation materials and others. Actively promoting products with low or zero carbon impact

We specialise in the manufacture of GFS Li board which consists of a reinforced cement top on an extruded polystyrene board. It is available in thicknesses between 40 – 140mm insulation excluding the 10mm topping, suitable for inverted roofs and upstands.

Fri 9th March 2012 - Gematherm XC

Since January 2012, the range of range of extruded polystyrene
insulation boards whose brand is GEMATHERM XC, is
enhanced further with the expansion of thicknesses up to
30 cm, in order to satisfy the most extreme needs of power
saving in response to the new Legislative and Regulatory
Devices adopted by all European countries.

This important goal was reached thanks to the development
of a new and sophisticated production process owned
by Sirap Insulation and patented in Europe, through
which we could achieve the INTEGRAL THERMOFUSION
OF MULTIPLE PANELS, WITHOUT USING ADHESIVES, in
order to create panels of higher thicknesses from 16 to 30
cm with high mechanical performances and better thermal
insulation properties.

We promote and advise on the specification of Extruded Polystyrene. Expanded Polystyrene, Natural Insulation materials and others.

The Extruded Polystyrene we promote has a GWP of less than 5. This is the requirement for BREEAM specifications. Which is being adopted for constructions on all Health, Education, Local and Government Authorities, Sheltered and Social housing.

The blowing agent used in Styrodur and Gematherm is Co2 which gives a GWP (Global Warming Potential ) of 1 ( One ). This CO2 is taken from the environment or as a bi product from other manufacturing processors. Other blowing agents used by other manufacturers give the following GWP.

Expanded Polystyrene, both standard grade and Graphite has a GWP 0 ( Zero )

Natural Insulation materials like Hotatex ( Wood based ) are not blown and are manufactured using energy that is self supporting. Self supporting means that a proportion of raw material is used to dry the wood and also to generate electricity, which in turn is used to power the plant.
