Product Information

Full details

The Unilin Insulation PIR Insulation Board (150mm) is designed for builders, contractors, and homeowners seeking superior thermal performance in floors, walls, and roofs. Its key benefit is exceptional U-value achievement with minimal thickness, reducing heat loss and thermal bridging. A potential caveat is its specific application suitability for ventilated, hybrid, and warm roof constructions, requiring proper installation for optimal results. This high-performance board features a foil-faced polyisocyanurate (PIR) core with a thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK, ensuring energy efficiency and reduced condensation risks, particularly in warm roof designs. It is manufactured under ISO9001 and certified to EN13166.

FAQs

What is the U-value of the 150mm PIR insulation board?

The U-value depends on the overall construction assembly. However, with a thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK, the 150mm board provides excellent thermal resistance (R-value) and contributes significantly to achieving low overall U-values in floors, walls, and roofs.

Can this board be used in direct contact with the ground?

While the board offers good thermal performance, it's essential to consult specific building regulations and manufacturer guidelines for ground contact applications, as moisture resistance and structural support requirements may necessitate additional protective measures or different material choices.

How should I seal the joints between boards?

Joints should be tightly butted together. For enhanced air-tightness and thermal performance, joints can be sealed with compatible foil tape or appropriate sealants, especially in applications where air leakage is a critical concern.

What is the coverage per board?

Each board has a coverage of 2.88m².

Is this board suitable for a flat roof?

Yes, it is suitable for flat roof applications, particularly in warm roof constructions, contributing to excellent thermal performance and reducing condensation risks.

What is the difference between PIR and other insulation types?

PIR (Polyisocyanurate) insulation offers a high R-value per inch compared to many other materials, is rigid, and has a closed-cell structure that provides good resistance to moisture. Its performance and rigidity make it suitable for demanding structural and thermal applications.

Does the foil facing require any special treatment before applying finishes?

The foil facing generally does not require special treatment before applying compatible finishes, but it's crucial to ensure the surface is clean and dry. Adhesion will depend on the specific finishing material used. Consult manufacturer data for specific primers or preparation steps if required.

Troubleshooting

Reduced thermal performance

Ensure boards are tightly fitted with no gaps. Check for any breaches in the vapor barrier or air tightness layer. Verify that the correct insulation thickness has been installed for the required U-value.

Condensation on foil surface

This can occur if the board is exposed to significant temperature differentials before installation or if there is an air leak. Ensure proper sealing of joints and correct installation of vapor control layers.

Difficulty cutting boards cleanly

Use a sharp, fine-toothed saw or a specialized insulation knife. Ensure a stable cutting surface and support the board to prevent tearing or splintering.

Damage to foil facing during installation

Handle boards with care, avoiding excessive force or dragging. Use appropriate tools for lifting and positioning. Minor damage can often be repaired with compatible foil tape, but significant damage may compromise thermal performance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Exceptional thermal insulation properties (0.022 W/mK).
Reduces thermal bridging effectively.
Lightweight and easy to cut and install.
Enhances energy efficiency, leading to potential cost savings.
Minimizes condensation risk in roof structures.
Certified for quality assurance and performance standards.

Cons

Requires specific installation methods for optimal performance, especially in warm roof constructions.
Foil facing may require specific sealing or preparation depending on the application.
Not suitable for applications requiring extreme flexibility.
Board dimensions (2400 x 1200 x 150mm) may require planning for transport and handling.
Potential for damage if not handled with care during transport and installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation: The Unilin XT PR Rigid PIR Insulation Board is designed for straightforward installation. It can be cut to size using a fine-toothed saw or insulation knife. For best results in roof applications, ensure boards are tightly butted together and consider appropriate vapor control layers and breathable membranes as per building regulations and specific construction details.

Compatibility: This board is compatible with a wide range of building materials. Ensure that any adhesives, sealants, or fixings used are compatible with PIR insulation and the foil facing. It is suitable for ventilated, hybrid, and warm roof constructions, as well as floor and wall applications.

Care: Store boards flat in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and sources of ignition. Protect boards from damage during handling and transport. Clean surfaces with a dry or slightly damp cloth if necessary; avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the foil facing or PIR core.
