Thermal Laminate Board 37.5mm is a high-performance insulation solution comprising a fibre-free rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam with a kraft paper/aluminium multi-layer finish, factory bonded to a 12.5mm tapered edge plasterboard. The foam has a very low thermal conductivity (k) of 0.022W/mK with the plasterboard providing an optimum thermal insulation solution.
Thermal Laminate Board 37.5mm is a versatile 2-in-1 solution which provides dry lining and thermal insulation in one application. Buildings lined with this product will become more responsive to heating conditions and become comfortable quicker in colder months – preventing heat loss. it also has a vapour control layer, which reduces moisture flow into and through the walls, roof or floor.
The boards are manufactured with zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and zero global warming potential (GWP) so are a sustainable insulation choice.
Features and benefits of Thermal Laminate Board 37.5mm:
A tapered-edged board enables flat seamless walls as an alternative to the use of plaster
Upgrading of walls and ceilings to meet U-value requirements
Suitable for masonry walls, brick, block, or concrete
Roof applications
Boards may be fixed to the substrate by adhesive bonding, metal frame system timber battens, or mechanical fixing
Drywall adhesive can be used on plane concrete or plastered walls
Mechanical fixings (fireproof) are also recommended (three per board) after the adhesive has set
NB. Thermal Laminates Plasterboard, when applied to the ceiling, must be directly fixed to the rafters after the removal of any existing plaster or plasterboards. The board is always screw-fixed to the rafters.
What Is A U-Value? In relation to insulating the home, a U-Value is the flow and loss of heat through the materials that make up the building itself, including bricks, flooring, roofing and windows. The U-Value is measured in watts at the rate of heat transfer. The important point to note is that the lower the U-Value is, the...
