IKO PLC has launched a BBA approved insulation board, IKO enertherm, made with unique Micro Cell Technology (MCT).
The insulation board has a multi-layer lamination for long lasting performance and an outstanding 0.022W/(m.K) lambda value, which means thermal insulation values can be met using thinner boards.
The Micro Cell Technology means IKO enertherm insulation boards retain their shape and dimensional stability longer than some other PIR boards.
MCT has a very low long-term moisture absorption rate (<0.6%). This means the boards are rot and mould-resistant and don't get heavier due to absorbing water, which reduces the thermal performance of the board. The MCT structure also gives enertherm more flexibility and excellent compressive strength, so the boards can be trafficked or walked on without rupturing or leaving indentations. IKO enertherm is available in various options to insulate flat and pitched roofs, lofts, basements, floors, cavity walls and outside walls.
