Clear cavity is maintained – resists moisture penetration
Low emissivity foil facings increase the thermal resistance of the cavity
NFPA 285 compliant assemblies
High R-value insulation board with a fiber–free rigid thermoset phenolic core.
It can be used in a variety of ceiling and wall applications, which makes it a great solution for a range of constructions. Find out more information in our technical brochures.
Our Kooltherm insulation achieves a R-value up to 7.4 per inch.
Phenolic insulation is the most thermally efficient insulation commonly used – helping you to meet building regulations – and has exceptional fire performance.
A wet foam mix is added directly to the bottom layer of facing. It then expands to meet the top layer. This is then cooked under pressure and cured in a second oven. When it’s ready, the phenolic insulation boards are cut to the right size and packaged up.
Phenolic insulation is a rigid insulation with a closed-cell structure.
