Product Information

Full details

Celotex GA4000 is an ideal high-performance insulation solution for professional builders and DIY renovators looking to optimize energy efficiency in walls, floors, and roofs. Its standout benefit is the exceptional thermal conductivity of 0.022W/mK, which allows for thinner installation profiles while achieving superior thermal resistance; however, users should note that as a rigid PIR board, it requires precise cutting to ensure tight-fitting gaps in complex framing structures.

FAQs

Can I use Celotex GA4000 for loft insulation?

Yes, it is highly effective for roof insulation, whether between rafters or as part of a warm roof construction.

Does this board need a vapor barrier?

While the foil facings provide some resistance, always consult local building regulations regarding moisture control and the specific requirements for your building type.

How do I cut these boards accurately?

A standard handsaw or a sharp insulation knife is sufficient. For best results, use a straight edge as a guide.

Is GA4000 fireproof?

It is a PIR insulation board designed to meet building fire safety standards, but it is not a non-combustible material. Always follow fire safety building regulations for your installation.

Can it be installed in damp conditions?

Installation should always occur in dry conditions. The boards themselves are moisture-resistant but should not be exposed to standing water or saturated environments.

What is the R-value of this product?

The thermal resistance (R-value) depends on the thickness of the specific board used. You can calculate it by dividing the thickness (in meters) by the thermal conductivity (0.022W/mK).

Troubleshooting

Board is too large for the gap

Use a fine-toothed hand saw to trim the board, ensuring a snug but not forced fit to prevent bowing.

Thermal bridging noticed at joints

Apply high-quality foil tape over all joints to create a continuous thermal and vapor-resistant seal.

Board surface damaged during handling

Small surface nicks are acceptable; however, if the foil facing is torn, repair it with metallic insulation tape to maintain low emissivity properties.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ultra-thin profile allows for more interior space while meeting building regulations
  • Excellent thermal conductivity reduces energy consumption costs
  • Easy to cut and fit into standard studwork
  • Highly sustainable choice with an A-rating from the BRE Green Guide

Cons

  • Requires precise measurements as it is a rigid board
  • Needs proper vapor control measures in specific climates
  • Not intended for applications involving extreme continuous high temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Celotex GA4000 is compatible with most standard building materials, including timber frames, steel frame systems, and masonry surfaces. To install, ensure the substrate is dry and level. Use mechanical fixings or approved adhesives compatible with PIR foam to secure the boards. When cutting, always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as goggles and a dust mask. Store the boards in a cool, dry place, keeping them elevated off the ground and covered to protect them from moisture and UV degradation before installation.
