Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the total thickness of the PL4060 board?

The board has a total thickness of 72.5mm, consisting of 60mm PIR insulation and 12.5mm plasterboard.

Can I use this board in a bathroom?

While the plasterboard layer is standard, you must ensure it is protected from moisture by using moisture-resistant paints, tiling, or appropriate tanking systems.

Is this product suitable for insulating floors?

This product is primarily designed for wall and roof lining. For flooring applications, you should use insulation specifically designed for load-bearing floor scenarios.

Can I plaster directly onto this board?

Yes, the plasterboard face is designed to be finished with a skim coat of plaster or taped and jointed.

What tools do I need to cut the board?

A sharp, fine-tooth handsaw or an insulation saw is recommended for cutting through the PIR foam and plasterboard layer.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty achieving a smooth joint between boards

Ensure the boards are tightly butted together and use premium jointing tape along the tapered edges before applying filler.

Adhesive failing to bond to masonry

Check that the wall surface is clean and primed if necessary; ensure the correct amount of adhesive dots are applied according to the adhesive manufacturer's specifications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Reduces installation time by combining insulation and lining into one step
High thermal efficiency with 0.022 W/mK rating
Suitable for both direct bonding and mechanical fixing
Provides a clean, finished surface for decoration

Cons

Total thickness of 72.5mm may reduce interior floor space in smaller rooms
Requires proper cutting tools for the rigid PIR foam core
Standard board size can be heavy and may require two people to handle safely

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Methods:

Direct Bonding: Ensure the substrate is dry, clean, and free from loose material. Use dots and dabs of suitable thermal board adhesive.
Mechanical Fixing: Use appropriate fixings that penetrate through the insulation and securely into the wall or roof timber frame.

Handling and Care:

Always store boards in a cool, dry, and flat area, preferably undercover.
Protect the edges from damage, as the tapered finish is vital for a smooth aesthetic.
Use a fine-tooth saw or a dedicated insulation cutter for clean edges when trimming the boards to size.
Ensure adequate ventilation in the room while working and when applying finishing compounds.
