130mm Recticel GP Insulation Boards (1200x2400mm) – 2.88m2

130mm Recticel General Purpose Insulation Boards

Recticel 130mm 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.

130mm Recticel PIR boards are a well-used size within the range. The 130mm board can be used for many applications. This includes roofs, floors, ceilings, and walls. The 130mm is easy to handle because of its light weight. The 130mm boards can also be doubled up.

Thermal – Recticel 130mm 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.

130mm PIR Board Application

Recticel 130mm boards are formed into a rectangular shape designed for easy installation within the building thermal envelope including walls, floors, roofs, and ceilings. The 130mm insulation board shape and size mean there is little cutting required. 130mm thickness is a standard size slab that can be installed in most applications.
The 130mm 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 130mm 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:

The Eurothane boards are extremely durable and last lasting. The 130mm boards will last for as long as the building does. 130mm product performance will not reduce over time when installed correctly.
Recticel 130mm 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 130mm 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.
