140mm Recticel GP Insulation Boards (1200x2400mm) – 2.88m2

140mm Recticel General Purpose Insulation Boards

Recticel 140mm Eurothane GP PIR Insulation Boards – an insulation material made from a polyisocyanurate (PIR) core. The core board also has low emissivity foil facings bonded to each side. The Recticel GP (eurothane) range is available from 25mm up to 150mm.

140mm Recticel PIR boards are a well-used size within the range. The 140mm board can be used for many applications. This includes roofs, floors, ceilings, and walls. The 140mm is easy to handle because of its light weight. The 140mm boards can also be doubled up.

Thermal – Recticel 140mm has a thermal conductivity of just 0.022W/mK. This means less heat will pass through the insulation slabs. This will keep internal temperatures level. In addition, the thermal properties of the insulation board will also prevent heat and energy from escaping the building and furthermore, save money on energy bills.
Most importantly, less energy escaping will also create a more energy-efficient and sustainable property. This is because it will have long-term positive impacts on global warming and climate change.
Storage – Stack the insulation boards on a flat surface, within a cool and dry space. If left outside, cover the boards with weatherproofing materials. Do not apply pressure to the boards. This includes walking on the boards to avoid damage. If applying excess weight to the boards, as a result, they can crumble internally, and the thermal quality of the board will be affected.

140mm PIR Board Application

Recticel 140mm boards are formed into a rectangular shape designed for easy installation within the building thermal envelope including walls, floors, roofs, and ceilings. The 140mm insulation board shape and size mean there is little cutting required. 140mm thickness is a standard size slab that can be installed in most applications.
The 140mm PIR board is an all-around performer and manufactured for a range of general building projects and specialist applications. Furthermore, the multi-purpose boards are designed for commercial, residential, and industrial buildings. Recticel 140mm PIR can also be fitted with other insulation materials. Double up to achieve an unusual thickness. In addition, PIR Insulation can help to meet building regulations. See all applications methods listed below:

• Ground Floor – Concrete Slab
• Ground Floor – Suspended Timber Joist
• Ground Floor – Beam and Block
• Ground Floor – Upgrading Existing Concrete Slab
• External Wall – Timber Frame Internal Linings
• External Wall – Timber Frame Sheathing
• External Wall – Between Timber Frame Studs
• External Wall – Solid Masonry Internal Linings
• Pitched Roof – Over Timber Rafters
• Pitched Roof – Sarking
• Pitched Roof – Below Timber Rafters
• Pitched Roof – Between Timber Rafters
• Pitched Roof – Loft insulation including between and Over Timber Joists
• Flat Roof – Balconies & Terraces Over Joists
• Flat Roof – Between Timber Joists
• Flat Roof – Below Timber Joists

The Eurothane boards are extremely durable and last lasting. The 140mm boards will last for as long as the building does. 140mm product performance will not reduce over time when installed correctly.
Recticel 140mm PIR Insulation Boards is a well-used product within the construction industry.

How to Install Recticel GP Insulation Boards

Cut Recticel boards using a fine-toothed saw or a sharp knife. Score the board with a sharp knife. After that, snap the board over a hard edge and score the other side.
Always consult a building / construction professional before insulating your property. This can be a costly and time-effective mistake. Ensure the walls are free from condensation and mould before insulating. Please note this is a guide only.
The most common method when installing 140mm insulation is timber frame wall applications.
Firstly, measure and cut each board to size. Make sure you measure each individual cavity to match each board because the sizes can differ.
Secondly, one cut pushes the insulation board back into the cavity. In addition, when joining two boards together, make sure they are tightly butted. Tape the board joins to avoid thermal bridging.
Thirdly, cut the plasterboards to size and install them horizontally over the insulation materials. Fix the plasterboard onto the frame using the required fixings. Take fixtures and fitting into account when cutting plasterboard. Finally, complete by decorating the boards.
