FAQs

What is the R-value of these insulation boards?

The R-value depends on the thickness. For a 50mm board with a thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/(mK), the R-value is approximately 2.27 m²K/W. Always refer to specific calculations for your application's total R-value.

Can these boards be used for external wall insulation?

Yes, they are suitable for external wall insulation when installed correctly as part of a compliant system, providing a thermal break and reducing heat loss.

How much area does one pack cover?

Each pack contains 5 pieces, and each piece measures 1200x450x50mm, covering a total area of 2.7 m² (29.06 ft²).

Are these boards fire-resistant?

PIR foam offers good fire performance compared to some other insulation types, but specific fire ratings should be checked against local building regulations for your intended application.

Can I paint or plaster directly onto the foil?

Direct painting or plastering onto the foil is generally not recommended. An appropriate membrane or substrate, such as plasterboard, should be installed over the insulation.

How do I seal joints between boards?

Joints should be sealed using foil tape that is compatible with aluminium foil to maintain airtightness and thermal performance.

What is the operating temperature range for this insulation?

PIR insulation is generally suitable for a wide range of temperatures commonly found in buildings, typically between -30°C to +120°C (-22°F to +248°F), but it's best to confirm with the manufacturer's specifications for critical applications.

Troubleshooting

Board is difficult to cut cleanly

Ensure you are using a sharp fine-toothed saw or utility knife. Score the foil facing first, then make the cut. For thicker boards, multiple passes may be necessary.

Gaps between boards after installation

Recut boards to ensure a precise fit. Seal any remaining small gaps with appropriate expanding foam or tape designed for insulation applications.

Foiling is torn during cutting or handling

Repair minor tears with a suitable foil tape. For larger tears, consider if the insulation performance is compromised for that specific section; re-cutting may be an option.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves thermal insulation for energy savings.
  • Lightweight and easy for a single person to install.
  • Versatile for a wide range of home improvement and DIY applications.
  • Durable foil facing offers additional radiant heat benefits and protection.
  • Reduces both heating and cooling costs.

Cons

  • Requires careful cutting to avoid damaging the foil facing.
  • May require additional vapor barriers depending on the application and climate.
  • Specific thermal performance depends on correct installation and sealing.
  • Not suitable for applications requiring structural load-bearing insulation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Measure and mark the area for installation.
  2. Use a fine-toothed saw or a utility knife with a sharp blade to cut the boards to size. *Take care not to damage the foil facing during cutting.*
  3. Install the boards snugly against the existing structure, ensuring minimal gaps.
  4. Secure the boards using appropriate fixings for the application (e.g., screws, adhesive).

Compatibility:

This insulation board is compatible with most standard building materials, including wood, metal framing, concrete, and plasterboard. Ensure that any fixings used are suitable for the board and the substrate.

Care:

To maintain performance, keep the boards clean and dry during and after installation. Avoid prolonged exposure to moisture. The foil facing can be wiped with a damp cloth if necessary.
