Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the thermal conductivity of the Unilin XT PR board?

The thermal conductivity is 0.022W/mK, providing excellent thermal insulation performance.

Can this board be used for pitched roofs?

Yes, it is suitable for ventilated, hybrid, or warm roof constructions, which can include pitched roofs.

What are the dimensions of one board?

Each board measures 2400mm x 1200mm x 50mm.

How much area does one board cover?

One board covers 2.88m².

Is the foil facing on both sides?

The product description indicates a foil-faced polyisocyanurate (PIR) core, implying the facing is present on the outer surfaces for low emissivity.

What quality standards does this board meet?

It is manufactured under ISO9001 quality assurance and certified to EN13166 standards.

How should I cut the board?

The board can be cut using a fine-toothed saw or a sharp insulation knife. Ensure clean, straight cuts for optimal joint sealing.

Can this insulation be used in damp environments?

While PIR is a closed-cell insulation, it's best stored and installed in dry conditions. Proper installation within a building envelope will protect it from excessive moisture.

Troubleshooting

Board appears damaged upon arrival

Inspect packaging carefully. If boards are significantly damaged, do not install and contact the supplier immediately for a replacement.

Difficulty achieving a tight seal at joints

Ensure cut edges are clean and straight. Use high-quality, compatible jointing tape specifically designed for insulation boards to create an effective air barrier.

Reduced thermal performance noted

Verify that all joints have been correctly sealed and that there are no gaps or thermal bridges around penetrations. Check for any signs of moisture ingress.

Cutting edges are rough or uneven

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw or a dedicated insulation knife. A straight edge can help guide the cut for a cleaner finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional thermal insulation with low conductivity (0.022W/mK).
Suitable for a wide range of applications including floors, walls, and various roof types.
Helps reduce condensation and thermal stress in roof structures.
Lightweight, making installation easier and faster.
Certified quality assurance provides peace of mind.
Maximizes usable internal space due to its high performance.

Cons

Requires careful cutting and handling due to its rigid nature.
May require specialized fixings depending on the application.
Not designed for exposed applications without appropriate cladding.
Can be more costly upfront compared to some traditional insulation materials.
Proper sealing of joints is critical to maintain thermal performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Unilin XT PR board is designed for straightforward installation. It can be cut using a fine-toothed saw or insulation knife. Ensure all joints are tightly butted and sealed with appropriate building tape to prevent air leakage and maintain thermal integrity. For roof applications, it is suitable for ventilated, hybrid, and warm roof constructions.

Compatibility: This board is compatible with most standard building systems for floors, walls, and roofs. It can be installed under screeds, plasterboard, or directly beneath roofing membranes, depending on the specific construction method. Always consult relevant building regulations and manufacturer guidelines for specific applications.

Care: Store boards flat in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to maintain their structural integrity and thermal performance. Protect from moisture during storage and installation. Clean any dust or debris from the surface before applying adhesives or finishes using a dry brush or vacuum.
