Product Information

Full details

The Unilin XT PR Rigid PIR Insulation Board is designed for builders and homeowners seeking superior thermal performance in floors, walls, and roofs. Its key benefit is achieving optimal U-values with minimal space intrusion due to its low thermal conductivity of 0.022W/mK. A potential consideration is that it's a rigid board, requiring specific cutting and fitting techniques for optimal results.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

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

The thermal conductivity is 0.022W/mK, which is exceptionally low and provides excellent thermal insulation performance.

Can this board be used for underfloor heating systems?

Yes, it is suitable for use in floor constructions and can be used in conjunction with underfloor heating systems, provided it is installed according to the system manufacturer's guidelines and appropriate screeds or finishes are used on top.

What are the dimensions of one board?

Each board measures 2400mm x 1200mm x 75mm.

How much area does one board cover?

One board covers 2.88m².

Is this board suitable for refurbishment projects?

Yes, its slim profile and high performance make it ideal for upgrading the thermal efficiency of existing buildings, particularly in spaces with limited height.

What certification does this product have?

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

How should the boards be stored?

Boards should be stored flat in a dry, sheltered location, protected from moisture and direct sunlight. Avoid stacking heavy items on top.

Troubleshooting

Board edges do not fit tightly.

Ensure boards are cut accurately with a sharp tool. Re-cut edges if necessary to achieve a snug fit. Ensure the substrate is flat and true.

Foil tape is not adhering properly.

Ensure the foil surface is clean and dry before applying the tape. Use a compatible foil tape designed for insulation boards. Apply firm pressure when laying the tape.

Reduced thermal performance noticed.

Check for gaps or voids between boards or around penetrations. Ensure all joints are adequately sealed with foil tape. Verify that the correct thickness of insulation has been installed as per design specifications.

Condensation forming on the foil surface.

This may indicate inadequate sealing of joints or edges, allowing moist air to reach the foil. Re-check and seal all gaps. Ensure the ventilation strategy for the building element is correct.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior thermal insulation with a low U-value.
  • Versatile use across multiple building elements (floors, walls, roofs).
  • Reduces thermal bridging and condensation risk, especially in warm roofs.
  • Lightweight and easy to cut and install.
  • Durable and consistent performance.
  • Certified for quality and compliance.

Cons

  • Requires precise cutting for optimal performance.
  • May require specialized fixings depending on the application.
  • Higher upfront cost compared to some standard insulation materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Installation:

  • Cutting: Use a fine-toothed saw or a specialized insulation board cutter for clean, precise cuts. Ensure cuts are square to the board face for a tight fit.
  • Fitting: Boards should be installed tightly together. In roof applications, they are typically laid over rafters. In floor applications, they can be laid over joists or subfloors. Ensure edges are butt-jointed.
  • Sealing: All joints between boards and around edges should be taped with appropriate foil tape to maintain the integrity of the thermal barrier and prevent air leakage.
  • Fixing: Mechanical fixings (screws and washers) appropriate for the substrate (timber, masonry, etc.) should be used to secure the boards. Consult manufacturer guidelines for specific fixing recommendations based on application and wind loading.

Compatibility:

  • Suitable for use with timber, steel, and masonry structures.
  • Compatible with a wide range of building materials, including plasterboard, roofing membranes, and floor finishes.
  • Ensure compatibility with any adhesives or sealants used, checking they are suitable for PIR insulation and foil facings.

Care:

  • Store boards flat in a dry, sheltered location, away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.
  • Protect boards from moisture during storage and installation.
  • Keep boards clean. If dirt or debris accumulates, clean with a dry cloth or a slightly damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Handle with care to avoid damaging the board edges or foil facing.
