Kingspan Thermapitch TP10 100mm PIR Insulation Board Product Description

Kingspan Thermapitch TP10 boards are the go-to choice for homeowners who want to reduce their energy bills. Homeowners lose around 25% of the heat in their homes through their roofs. By investing in Kingspan Thermapitch TP10 boards, you can reduce your energy bills by a quarter for years to come.
These fibre free rigid thermoset polyisocyanurate boards have a thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK, which makes them second only to phenolic insulation in terms of thermal performance. Lots of homeowners favour Kingspan PIR because it is affordable and effective. TP10 boards are also lightweight, non-deleterious, and easy to handle.
These high performance rigid boards are manufactured using a blowing agent that has zero ozone depletion potential ODP and low global warming potential.

Kingspan TP10 Insulation Applications

Kingspan creates insulation boards for lots of different purposes. Thermapitch is just one of the ranges that Kingspan produces. Other popular ranges include Thermawall, Thermafloor, and Thermaroof.
These rigid thermoset polyisocyanurate PIR boards are designed for installation at rafter level in tiled or slated pitched warm roof spaces. With an extensive range to choose from, you can get the correct thickness to suit the full rafter depth and prevent air movement between the roof space and the outside. Tape board joints running in parallel with each other and the rafters, in order to enhance the rafter layer and thermal envelope of the pitched roof.

Kingspan PIR

Kingspan PIR boards are very popular. Kingspan is known for creating premium quality insulation boards that stand the test of time. PIR is one of the most common insulation materials because it combines affordability with a host of thermal benefits.
PIR is a rigid fibre-free thermoset material. It combines polyols and isocyanates. During the manufacturing process, a chemical reaction occurs that cross-links the materials. The resulting material has a strong, rigid structure.
One of the biggest benefits of Kingspan PIR is that it delivers low thermal conductivity values. Kingspan Thermapitch TP10 has a thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK. The lower the thermal value, the better the material will insulate your home.

Kingspan Thermapitch TP10 Fire Rating

The Euroclass scale starts from A1 (non-combustible) and finishes at F (combustible). All insulation materials in Europe must have a Euroclass rating before they go on sale. This scale ensures that the classification is standardised. Materials undergo up to five strict, regulated tests. When you see a Euroclass rating, you will always get an accurate representation of the hazards involved.

Kingspan Thermapitch TP10 has a Euroclass rating of F. This is the worst rating in terms of combustibility. TP10 boards will contribute to the production of fire. It is important to remember that a poor Euroclass rating does not mean that the material is unsuitable for your home, merely that it cannot be relied upon to stop the spread of fire. You should use a build-up of fire-resistant materials in conjunction with Kingspan PIR insulation.

Kingspan TP10 Insulation Board Handling

Kingspan PIR insulation boards are so popular because there are lots of hidden benefits. Kingspan TP10  boards are non-deleterious, which means that the PIR core does not contain materials that are harmful to human health. You can handle this board without worrying about heavy-duty gloves or goggles.

Even better, TP10 insulation is lightweight. They are ideal for professionals who work alone and want materials that are easy to handle.
While insulation boards are very effective thermal insulators, they do not offer much in the way of acoustic performance. For sound deadening properties, products like the Rockwool RWA45 100mm slab are best.
