20mm Recticel Eurothane GP PIR Insulation Board 2400mm x 1200mm

What's a home without warmth? With little to no effort, 20mm Recticel Eurothane GP Insulation Board can help you achieve that perfect level of toasty; meaning less heating and less spending. This high performance PIR insulation board is a BBA certified thermal solution that can be utilised by the entire building chain. With a thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK, 20mm Recticel Eurothane boards offer energy saving benefits that are equal to competitors Kingspan and Celotex. The boards ensure excellent thermal performance and are perfectly suited for multiple applications including: solid wall and framed wall builds, floors, pitched roofs and ceilings; it's no wonder they're one of the most popular insulation products in the UK.

20mm Recticel Eurothane GP Insulation Board Specifications

Boasting a light weight composition of rigid foam polyisocyanurate (PIR) core, these 20mm Recticel Insulation boards are faced on both sides with aluminium foil composite. 

These foil facings act as a gas diffusion facer, resulting in an insulation board that has a lower (and therefore better) thermal conductivity. When it comes to insulation, Recticel's thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK (otherwise know as U-Value) indicates excellent thermal performance.

The boards also offer moisture and thermal resistance, meaning they will not absorb or hold water (no more sag, phew), and offer excellent drying potential in your wall assembly, and therefore consistent thermal performance for years to come.

These boards really do it all, and the pros know it: whether it’s pitched roof, framed wall or floor applications, Eurothane Insulation board is the ideal solution amongst contractors and professional installers. Offering precision cut straight edges, high compressive strength and a super-flat surface finish, installation couldn't be quicker or easier. Not only that but Recticel is graded Euroclass F in fire performance with the surface spread of flame falling into Class 1.

Recticel Insulation 20mm Board Applications

20mm Recticel GP insulation board is incredibly versatile and offers benefits suitable for multiple applications such as pitched roofs, floors, and wall applications. This includes solid concrete floors (above and below slab), block and beam floors, suspended timber floors, underfloor heating systems, inner faces of external walls, internal walls and loft and roof areas.

When insulating roofs the boards are laid with the long edges parallel to the rafters in a tightly butted brick-bond pattern. If the desired insulation thickness comprises two layers, board joints should be staggered and the thicker layer positioned outermost. Boards can be temporarily fixed with nails prior to counter battening. 

Where internal walls are concerned, the boards should be fitted in a tightly butted brick-bond pattern between the framed wall battens. When it comes to insulating floors with the boards, it's advised that flooring grade chipboard should then be laid over the insulation.

No matter which part of the building structure you are looking to insulate, you can depend on Recticel's general application insulation board.

Recticel 20mm Eurothane Sustainability

20mm Recticel Eurothane GP boards are not only impressive in their performance but they also hold up well in their environmental credentials. The 2.4m x 1.2m boards are manufactured with a specially designed blowing agent that has low global warming potential. They also have zero ozone depletion potential (ODP), meaning they're a little kinder on the environment - so contrary to popular belief, it is easy being green, after all.

Recticel Insulation Storage & Handling

Boards are supplied in polythene shrink wrap for short-term protection. We advise that you store them indoors. As we know that's not always possible, our rule of thumb when it comes to storing outdoors, is that the boards should not be stored on the ground. Instead pop them on a level surface and under a protective cover.

This Recticel Insulation board can be installed in a jiffy around studs or as an insulated sheathing. Eurothane GP insulation is lightweight yet strong and flexible all at the same time. It's designed for efficient cutting with a knife or fine-toothed saw. All in all, it's simple to cut, handle and install.
