Product Information

Full details

The Celotex XR4200 is a versatile, high-performance insulation board engineered for contractors and DIY enthusiasts who need maximum thermal efficiency in a slim profile. Ideal for pitched roofs, flat roofs, solid floors, and wall systems, this board significantly reduces heat loss with an impressive R-Value of 9.05mK/W. While its 200mm thickness offers superior thermal resistance, users should note that the board's rigid nature requires precise cutting and careful planning to fit into tighter construction spaces compared to thinner insulation rolls.

FAQs

What is the R-Value of the XR4200?

The Celotex XR4200 offers an R-Value of 9.05mK/W.

Can I use this board for floor insulation?

Yes, it is highly effective for solid floor applications due to its high compressive strength and thermal performance.

Does this board provide a moisture barrier?

The foil facings act as a vapor control layer; however, joints must be taped correctly to provide a truly effective barrier.

What are the dimensions of each board?

Each board measures 2400mm x 1200mm with a thickness of 200mm.

Is the XR4200 suitable for steel-framed buildings?

Yes, the board is compatible with both timber and steel-framed building systems.

Do I need special protective gear to handle these boards?

Standard safety gear including gloves, safety glasses, and a dust mask is recommended when cutting the boards to avoid irritation.

Troubleshooting

Board is too thick for the current cavity space

Verify your project's U-value requirements. If space is limited, consider if a thinner board type is viable, or adjust the framing depth.

Gaps between boards after installation

Fill any small gaps with expanding foam insulation and seal all joints with professional-grade foil tape to ensure thermal continuity.

Difficulty achieving clean cuts

Use a long-blade insulation saw or a sharp hand saw to prevent crumbling of the rigid foam core.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Industry-leading thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK
  • Lightweight and easy to cut to size
  • Excellent for achieving thick insulation requirements in a single board
  • Environmentally rated with BRE Green Guide 'A' status
  • Durable and rigid construction maintains its shape over time

Cons

  • The 200mm thickness is significant and requires careful planning in renovation projects
  • Rigid boards are less flexible than rolls for irregular or non-square spaces
  • Requires proper cutting tools to achieve clean edges
  • Larger footprint (2400mm x 1200mm) may require assistance for manual handling

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the substrate is clean, dry, and level. The boards can be cut using a fine-toothed saw or a sharp blade; always measure twice to minimize waste. When fitting between rafters or studs, ensure a tight fit to prevent cold bridging. If creating a continuous thermal layer, tape the joints with high-quality foil tape to maximize the effectiveness of the low-emissivity surface. Store the boards in a cool, dry area on a flat surface to prevent warping, and keep them protected from direct sunlight and excessive moisture before installation.
