Actis Hybris Panel is a high-performance insulation material designed to improve the thermal conductivity of residential and commercial buildings. Hybris panels are manufactured with a special structure composed of a large number of low emissivity cavities that are protected from dust and excessive air movement. They are designed with a honeycomb structure made of shaped polyethylene foams glued to aluminium coated polyethylene foil facings on each side.

Actis Hybris Panels

Actis Hybris is a groundbreaking and innovative product manufactured by Actis Insulation. It is a reflective insulation product, which is designed for use in ceilings, roofs, walls and suspended timber floors. This multi-purpose product features a honeycomb structure to its design. The purpose of this unique design is to trap heat in the cells. In addition to this, the faces feature a low emissivity film. The low emissivity layers reduce heat transfer. This allows for enhanced thermal properties and therefore makes it a great type of insulation material.

Actis Hybris insulation is available in thicknesses as low as 50mm ranging up to 185mm. These panels are size 1145mm x 1200mm. This gives each panel a total coverage of 1.37m2. One of the big advantages of using Actis Hybris panels is that they are lightweight and easy to install. Below are some other key benefits of using Actis Hybris Panels:

  • Quick and easy to install
  • Unique structure
  • Does not compact over time
  • No irritating fibres
  • Flexible – thermal bridging is virtually eliminated
  • Exceptional thermal performance
  • High acoustic comfort
  • Wind and moisture resistant
  • Lightweight; easy to carry, transport and store

Where can Actis Hybris Panels be installed

Actis Hybris panels are excellent as they can be used in various application types. A breakdown of these can be found below:

Timber Frame Walls

Actis Hybris is suitable for installation for timber frame walls. Using the Hybris panels in timber frame constructions can help enhance the energy efficiency of a building.

Masonry Walls

Hybris insulation by Actis can be used in masonry walls. This can help reduce the heat lost in a property as well as improve overall comfort.

Ceilings

Actis panels can be installed in ceiling applications. This can further help to improve the thermal performance of a building.

Pitched Roofs

Actis Hybris can be used in the insulation of pitched roofs, providing a barrier against heat transfer and contributing to a stable indoor temperature year-round.

Suspended Timber Floors

Actis Hybris panels are also ideal for insulating suspended timber floors, enhancing underfoot comfort and overall thermal efficiency of the flooring system.

The wide variety of application types makes Actis Hybris the ideal multi purpose insulation material. The thermal conductivity of these panels is just 0.033W/mK. They are easy to handle and can be cut down to size using a standard handsaw as well as an electric alligator saw. In addition to this, these panels are graded A+ for internal air quality. This is in accordance with ISO 16000. Actis states that these panels do not generate dust or fibre whilst cutting or installing. Furthermore, Hybris insulation by Actis can 'friction fit'. If additional support is needed then adjacent Hybris panels can be taped as well as stapled top to bottom to timber.

How do Actis Hybris Panels work?

Actis Hybris Panels are made up of honeycomb-shaped polyethylene foams. These are bonded to aluminium-coated polyethylene foils. This innovative design in combination with the material is what allows Actis Hybris panels to perform as well as they do.

Below are just a few of the ways that Actis panels help enhance thermal performance:

Low Emissivity Cavities

Due to the design of the panels, the product is made up of a variety of low-emissivity cavities. These cavities can help retain warmth in the colder seasons. In the summer, they can reflect heat away therefore making them a great insulation panel.

Dust and Air Movement Protection

The cavities in Actis Hybris can protect against the accumulation of dust as well as excessive air movement. This is important as dust can impair the effectiveness of insulation by increasing thermal conductivity. In addition to this, air movement can result in convective heat losses. These panels are designed to protect from both.

Reflective Surfaces

The reflective surfaces on Actis Hybris act as reflective barriers. Hybris aluminium-coated polyethylene foils provide benefits to both warmer and colder climates.
