100mm Kingspan Greenguard GG700 600mm x 1250mm (Pack of 4)

100m Greenguard GG700

Kingspan GreenGuard GG700 is a high-performance rigid insulation board made up of extruded polystyrene with green facings designed for exterior insulation including the insulation of inverted roofs, basements, car park decks, and heavy-duty commercial, industrial, and cold store flooring. The GG700 insulation boards have excellent compressive strength, and a closed cell structure which is moisture resistant and rejects the absorption of ground water and the passage of water vapour. The board is chlorofluorocarbon (CFC), hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) free and manufactured with a blowing agent that has zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and low global warming potential (GWP).

Key Features:

• High performance rigid extruded polystyrene insulation
• Low thermal conductivity.
• High compressive strength.
• Resistant to ground moisture penetration.
• Easy to handle and install.
• Rebated Edges
• Compressive strength (minimum) at 10% compression – 300kPa
• Fibre-free rigid extruded polystyrene insulant
• Resistant to most dilute acids and alkalis
• Available for new builds or refurbishments

The Kingspan GreenGuard brand selection offers extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation boards in a range of sizes, air barrier building wraps and accessories including flashing.

The XPS insulation board offers an R–value of 5.0 per inch of thickness and is the ideal product for a variety of applications including below slab, below grade along the foundation, inside basement walls, exterior insulation over wood sheathing and residing.

Rigid extruded polystyrene insulation (XPS) can also be used as general-purpose insulation for multiple applications including, roofing, wall and foundation applications requiring a minimum compressive strength. The GreenGuard insulation boards are easy to cut, handle, and install making installation quick and simple.

Continuous insulation for above grade walls, as well as below grade walls and floors provides an extra barrier against moisture infiltration.

Each insulation product achieves the necessary fire performance for its intended application.

GreenGuard products are easily identifiable by their bright green colour. In addition to creating healthier, more durable, and cost-efficient assemblies, GreenGuard products can help projects to meet environmental building certification requirements to ensure safety.

Cutting:

Kingspan Greenguard GG700 can be cut by measuring and marking to board to ensure an accurate fit and cutting with a fine-toothed saw on higher surface to allow the saw to cut through. Other ways to cut GG700 is to use a hot wire system or by scoring with a sharp knife and snapping the board over a straight edge and scoring the other side if necessary. Ensure accurate trimming to accomplish close-butting joints and continuity of insulation to avoid thermal bridging.

Packaging and Storage:

The polyethylene packaging of Kingspan Insulation products is fully recyclable and the packaging should not be considered sufficient for outside protection. The boards should be stored on a flat surface inside a well-ventilated building. If, however, indoor storage is not an option, then the boards should be stacked clear of the ground and protected with a pale pigmented polythene sheet or weatherproof material. Kingspan GreenGuard should not be left exposed to the sun covered by either a transparent or a dark plastic sheet. In both cases the temperature of the board can build up and alter the board dimensions or warp them.

Please note Kingspan GreenGuard may be delivered in packaging showing alternative branding.

Installation guide – Basement walls

Before fully insulating the walls, Kingspan GreenGuard insulation boards should be placed between the concrete slab and the exterior of the basement wall in a triangular shape, this will create a slope and a platform for the basement wall insulation.

The damp proof membrane should be laid under the basement wall and the triangular shaped piece of insulation and connect with the basement wall tanking membrane in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

A tanking membrane is applied to prevent water from entering the basement structure, it is installed to the external face of the basement wall and the insulation boards should be installed outside of the tanking membrane.

Once the insulation boards are in place, a cavity drainage membrane or layer of washed no fines gravel should be installed outside of the insulation boards. This relieves hydrostatic pressure and channels water to the foundation drain. The membrane or gravel should be covered with a geotextile layer to prevent fines from blocking the drainage material.

To ensure rainwater drains away from the building, the ground around the structure must slope away from the basement wall. Boards can be laid in any weather condition however, due to the boards being extremely lightweight, care must be taken in windy conditions.
