BreatheTherm provides a unique, WTA-certified breathable insulation system specifically designed for pre-1919 and heritage buildings. Unlike conventional insulation that can trap moisture and damage historic fabric, BreatheTherm uses vapour-open mineral materials like perlite and aerogel to manage moisture safely, allowing walls to breathe while improving thermal performance and preventing damp. Our approach focuses on working with the natural moisture cycle of traditional buildings, ensuring the longevity of the structure while enhancing comfort and reducing energy bills.
We offer a comprehensive system that considers walls, floors, and junctions, providing a holistic solution for conservation and retrofit projects. This includes technical support for architects, CPDs, and a network of approved installers. Founded by experienced heritage builders Josh Tetley and Greg Podolak, BreatheTherm addresses the critical need for appropriate insulation solutions in the UK's extensive stock of older properties.
The system is designed to be heritage-friendly, slim, and sustainable, offering significant energy savings of up to 65% and contributing to healthier living environments without compromising the character of historic homes.
