This product is specifically designed for masonry cavity walls. Consult with Kingspan for recommendations on timber frame applications.
What is the reaction to fire classification?
The product has a Euroclass F (EN 13501-1) reaction to fire classification.
How should I store the insulation boards?
Store the boards indoors in a dry location, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
How many boards are in a pack?
There are 4 boards per pack.
What is the weight per pack?
Approximately 6.48kg per pack.
Can I use this product in walls higher than 25m?
The product is suitable for masonry cavity walls up to 25m high. For taller walls, consult Kingspan.
Troubleshooting
Poor thermal performance after installation.
Check for gaps or voids in the insulation. Ensure all boards are butted tightly together and that fixings are not causing thermal bridges.
Moisture accumulation within the cavity.
Ensure the vapour-open fleece is correctly positioned on the outer face of the boards. Verify proper installation and sealing to prevent moisture ingress.
Difficulty cutting boards.
Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw to cut the boards to the required size. Measure carefully before cutting.
