Kingspan Kooltherm K112 50mm Framing Insulation Board (2400 x 1200) – 17.28m2 pack

Kingspan K112 50mm

Kingspan Kooltherm K112 is used between studs or as insulation sheathing in timber frame and steel frame walls. When installed in construction, Kooltherm K112 offers premium performance with a thermal conductivity as low as 0.019 W/mK.

Kingspan Kooltherm K112 has a rigid phenolic core and is faced on both sides with low-emissivity foil to provide low thermal conductivity. This makes this framing board insulation product perfect for new builds and refurbishment projects since it’s easy to install and handle. In a refurbishment project, this wall insulation can bring u-values even lower in areas where you previously might not have thought about insulating.

Resistant to the passage of water vapour, installing Kooltherm K112 as insulation sheathing can be a good idea to ensure other insulation types are kept safe and performing. This is also down to the fact that Kooltherm K112 isn’t affected by air infiltration.

The K112 Framing Board is made of a phenolic rigid board, which is bonded to low-emissivity composite foil facings on each side during manufacturing. This reflective, low surface enhances the thermal resistance of any unaired cavity adjacent to the board

This product provides excellent compressive strength and thermal performance. The board can have an indefinite lifespan, provided it is installed correctly. The boards are water resistant, which means they will prevent mould or rot from developing and microbial growth even if there is condensation in the installation area. Condensation can be controlled in areas containing Kooltherm K112. This is accomplished by ensuring there is a high vapour resistance on the warm side of the insulation layer. Vapour resistant is increased when vapour check plasterboards are added.

The core is also resistant to petrol and most dilute acids, alkalis, and mineral oils when in contact short term. It is recommended, should the boards come into to contact with any liquids, that they are cleaned off and left to dry asap. Guidelines should be read when using this product as particular solvent-based adhesive can affect the boards and should not be used, particularly those containing methyl, ethyl, and ketone. Damaged boards or boards that have been in contact with harsh solvents or acids should not be used.

By insulating your property, you are creating a more energy-efficient environment. This will also save you money on up to 75% of your energy bills as well as providing a comfortable temperature-controlled environment.
