Celotex GA4100 Specifications

100mm Celotex GA4100 insulation is a multi-purpose insulation board that comes in dimensions of 2.4m x 1.2m. Not only do the boards offer excellent thermal performance, but they are also moisture resistant thanks to their closed-cell structure. This excellent drying potential sets you up for years of consistent thermal performance - promising maximum protection for the lifetime of your build.

Let's have a look at the specs:

• Suitable for use in a number of applications including roof, wall and floor systems
• Thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK
• Moisture-resistant
• Low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and Zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP)
• Achieves an A+ rating when compared to the BRE Green Guide 2008
• Features low emissivity foil facings giving improved thermal insulation performance within cavity air spaces
• Easy to cut and shape
• Provides reliable long-term energy savings for buildings

Celotex GA4100 Insulation Storage & Handling

As they are super light and portable, 100mm Celotex boards can also be handled and transported easily; making them a doddle to install. If you need to store 100mm Celotex insulation boards for a while before installation, you should choose a cool, dry space.

Our rule of thumb when it comes to storage is that the boards should not be stored on the ground. Instead, pop them on a level surface and under a protective cover, just for good measure.
