Product Information

Full details

The Celotex TB4000 is a high-performance polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation board designed for professional builders and contractors seeking superior thermal efficiency in floors, walls, and roof applications. Its primary benefit is a low thermal conductivity of 0.022W/mK, which allows for thinner insulation profiles without compromising performance. However, users should note that as a rigid PIR board, it requires precise measuring and cutting to ensure an airtight fit in irregular spaces.

FAQs

What tools are best for cutting TB4000?

A fine-toothed hand saw or a dedicated sharp insulation knife provides the cleanest cuts.

Can I use this board for external wall insulation?

TB4000 is primarily designed for internal applications; please check specific manufacturer documentation for external use compliance.

Is it moisture-resistant?

The PIR core is moisture-resistant, but the joints and board edges should be sealed properly to prevent moisture ingress in high-humidity areas.

How do I ensure a good U-value calculation?

Consult with a building control officer or use the Celotex U-value calculator tool to determine the correct thickness required for your specific build-up.

Does it require a vapor barrier?

The foil facing acts as an effective vapor barrier, but ensure all joints are taped to maintain the integrity of the vapor control layer.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty achieving a tight fit between joists

Measure twice and cut slightly oversized (1-2mm) to ensure a compression fit against the structural members.

Foil facing tearing during installation

Use metallic insulation tape to patch any small tears or punctures in the foil surface to maintain vapor control integrity.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly thinner than traditional mineral wool for the same U-value
  • Suitable for a wide variety of applications including roofs and floors
  • Lightweight and easy to cut with standard hand tools
  • High structural integrity and durability
  • Excellent environmental credentials with a BRE A rating

Cons

  • Rigid structure makes it less forgiving in non-square or irregular cavities
  • Requires professional-grade cutting tools for perfectly straight edges
  • Needs careful handling to prevent damage to the foil facing
  • Not suitable for acoustic-only soundproofing requirements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure the surface area is clean, dry, and flat before installation. Use a fine-toothed saw or a sharp insulation knife to cut the boards to size, ensuring they fit tightly against joists or wall studs to prevent thermal bridging.

  • Compatibility: Compatible with most standard timber frame and masonry building materials.
  • Care: Store boards indoors or under a weatherproof cover to keep them dry. Avoid leaving boards exposed to prolonged direct sunlight or moisture, as this can degrade the foil facing over time. When fixing, use appropriate insulation fasteners and ensure that gaps are sealed with expanding foam or high-performance insulation tape to maintain a thermal seal.
