100mm Kingspan Thermapitch Insulation TP10 2400 x 1200mm

2400 x 1200mm Foil faced 100mm Kingspan TP10 PIR Insulation Board

Kingspan Thermapitch TP10 insulation board is a rafter level insulation primarily used for tiled or slated pitched warm roof spaces.
 

Benefits of using PIR insulation

• High performance rigid thermoset insulation –
  thermal conductivity 0.022 W/m.K
• Ideal for new build & refurbishment
• Easy to cut and work around awkward details
• Lightweight and easy to install

Multi-purpose insulation boards

100mm Kingspan TP10 PIR insulation is a high performance rigid thermoset insulation which can also be used for lots of other applications such a lining walls in between battens and insulating floors; both timber and concrete. Kingspan TP10 is the sister product of Kingspan TF70 and Kingspan TW55 - same specification just referred to with different names for use in different applications.

How to cut PIR insulation

100mm foil faced insulation board is easy to cut to the required size with a normal handsaw to friction fit in between even the most awkward of spaces. When cutting and installing, ensure that any gaps are filled with an expanding urethane sealant so there are no cold spots. On thinner boards up to around 50mm, less mess is made if a sharp-bladed knife is used. As it can be quite a messy job, it is advisable to wear safety clothing, especially as dust mask at the very least!

The technical stuff!

Polyisocyanurate, or 'PIR' as it is more commonly known is one of the most thermally efficient insulants in the construction market at present. 

During the manufacturing process, the chemical reaction of combining liquid polyol and isocynates produces a wet, tacky foam which then hardens and sets in any desired form. When producing sheets of insulation, this leads to finer tolerances and consistent thicknesses.

Is 100mm Kingspan PIR Insulation waterproof?

Ultimately no. PIR insulation is constructed from closed-cell foam, a material consisting of tiny cells filled with gas. Although these cells create a barrier to heat transfer, they aren't completely impervious to water. To enhance moisture resistance, PIR boards are covered with foil facings on both sides. This means if the foil does get wet during the transportation process, just make sure they are allowed to dry indoors naturally before installing.
