Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the thermal conductivity of this insulation board?

The Unilin Insulation PIR Insulation Board has a thermal conductivity of 0.022W/mK, indicating high thermal efficiency.

Can this board be used for floor insulation?

Yes, it is ideal for floor insulation in both residential and commercial applications.

What is a 'warm roof' construction?

A warm roof construction involves insulating above the roof deck, keeping the roof structure at internal environmental conditions to reduce thermal stress and condensation risks.

How is the board manufactured?

It is manufactured using a rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam core created through a precise blowing process, with fine cells filled with a pentane blowing agent.

What are the dimensions of one board?

Each board measures 2400mm x 1200mm x 100mm, covering 2.88m².

Is this product certified?

Yes, it is manufactured under ISO9001 quality assurance and certified to EN13166 standards.

What are the benefits of the foil facing?

The foil facing provides low emissivity properties, which enhances the overall thermal insulation performance of the board.

Troubleshooting

Board is difficult to cut cleanly

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw or a specialized insulation knife. Ensure a steady hand and support the board properly during cutting.

Condensation observed on the foil surface

Verify correct installation, particularly in warm roof applications. Ensure all joints are adequately sealed and the vapor control layer is correctly implemented, if applicable to the specific construction.

Reduced thermal performance in a specific area

Check for gaps, voids, or thermal bridging around the insulation. Ensure boards are fitted tightly together and all penetrations are properly sealed.

Difficulty achieving a tight fit between boards

Trim edges slightly if necessary, or use appropriate jointing tapes and adhesives recommended for foil-faced insulation to create an airtight seal.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation properties (0.022W/mK)
  • Reduces thermal bridging effectively
  • Suitable for a wide range of applications (floors, walls, roofs)
  • Improves energy efficiency and lowers heating costs
  • Lightweight and easy to cut and handle
  • Reduces condensation risk in warm roof constructions

Cons

  • Requires careful installation to achieve maximum benefit
  • Foil facing may require specific jointing or sealing methods
  • Not suitable for applications requiring extreme fire resistance beyond standard building codes
  • Can be more expensive than standard insulation materials
  • Requires protective measures during cutting to avoid dust inhalation

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and free from debris before installation. Cut boards to size using a fine-toothed saw or insulation knife. For optimal results in warm roof constructions, install boards directly over the roof deck, ensuring a continuous layer.

Compatibility: This board is compatible with common construction materials such as timber, masonry, and metal framing. When used in roof applications, ensure compatibility with roofing membranes and fixings according to manufacturer guidelines. The foil facing may require specific adhesives or tapes for sealing joints, depending on the system requirements.

Care: Store boards flat in a dry, protected area, away from direct sunlight and moisture, to prevent damage. Handle with care to avoid excessive bending or impact. Once installed, the board requires minimal ongoing care but should be protected from physical damage.
