FAQs

What is the R-value of Celotex CW4050?

The thermal conductivity is 0.022 W/m.K. R-values can be calculated based on the thickness of the board used.

Can this be used for full fill cavity insulation?

No, the CW4050 is specifically designed for partial fill applications. Other products are available for full fill systems.

What are the dimensions of the Celotex CW4050 board?

The standard dimensions for this product are 1200mm x 450mm, with a thickness of 50mm.

Is this insulation suitable for external walls?

Yes, it is designed for use within the cavity of masonry external walls.

Does the foil facing need to face a specific direction?

Always consult the manufacturer's installation guide and relevant building regulations. The foil facing can contribute to thermal performance in sealed air spaces.

What is the BBA certificate number for this product?

The Celotex CW4050 is certified under BBA certificate number 16/5343.

Troubleshooting

Board is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a sharp, dedicated insulation saw or a fine-toothed saw for clean cuts. Ensure the board is supported properly while cutting.

Concerns about moisture in the cavity.

Ensure the building envelope is watertight before and during insulation installation. Proper installation of wall ties and cavity trays is crucial. Consult building regulations for details on vapour control layers if required.

Achieving the correct U-value seems challenging.

Refer to the Celotex technical literature and U-value calculators for accurate performance data. Ensure accurate measurements and consider all elements of the wall construction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly improves thermal insulation of cavity walls.
  • Reduces the required thickness of insulation for target U-values.
  • Enhances building energy efficiency, leading to lower heating costs.
  • Durable and long-lasting insulation material.
  • Easy to handle and cut to size for installation.

Cons

  • Only suitable for partial fill cavity wall applications.
  • Requires careful installation to avoid thermal bridging.
  • Not suitable for full fill cavity wall systems.
  • Potential for moisture accumulation if not installed correctly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup & Installation:

The Celotex CW4050 is designed for easy installation in masonry cavity walls. It should be cut to fit snugly between the existing wall ties. Ensure the boards are installed dry and protected from the elements during the construction process. Follow manufacturer guidelines and relevant building regulations for correct installation, ensuring the foil facing is correctly oriented if specified.

Compatibility:

This product is specifically designed for partial fill cavity wall applications in masonry constructions. It is compatible with standard building practices for cavity walls. Ensure compatibility with other building materials being used in conjunction with the insulation.

Care:

Store the boards flat in a dry environment, away from direct sunlight and moisture, until installation. Once installed, the insulation is protected by the building fabric. If boards become wet during storage or installation, they should be allowed to dry thoroughly before being enclosed.
