50mm Kingspan Kooltherm K108 Cavity Board

1200 x 450 x 50mm Kingspan Kooltherm K108 Cavity Insulation (Per 10 Boards - 5.4m2).

Partial fill insulation designed for use in cavities where a clear air gap is required.

K108 replaces the K8 range and now benefits from a lower lambda value. This means that a thinner board can be used to achieve the same 'U' values.

What is phenolic insulation?

Phenolic insulation is the most thermally efficient insulation commonly used that Kingspan utilise in many of their high-end products. It is made by forming a rigid thermoset foam between two facing elements - a low emissivity composite foil. This makes it easier to reach low target U-values with a minimal thickness of insulation when compared against standard 50mm PIR insulation.

Benefits of using Rigid Phenolic Insulation

• Premium performance rigid phenolic insulation–
  thermal conductivity 0.019 W/m.K
• Clear cavity is maintained – resists moisture penetration
• Low emissivity foil facings are resistant to the passage of water vapour and double the thermal resistance of the cavity

Kingspan K108 50mm Multi-purpose insulation boards

The primary use for 50mm Koolthem K108 is for insulating masonry cavities when a higher ‘U’ value is required. It is held against the internal cavity masonry and held in place with retaining clips fixed over the specified cavity wall ties.

Kingspan’s premium phenolic board can also be used in between timber battens to line out external walls; once again providing a better thermal insulation than standard PIR type insulation boards. K108 1200 x 450mm boards also come in handy for when looking to insulate difficult to access areas such as loft spaces. Care must be taken to ensure current building regulations are met. If unsure, please contact your local building control office.
