• Flat Roof Insulation: The board's lightweight structure and easy installation make it suitable for insulating flat roofs in both residential and commercial settings.
• Floor Insulation: Use Celotex XR4150 beneath concrete or suspended floors to reduce heat loss and improve the energy efficiency of ground and upper floors.
• Masonry Walls: Excellent for solid or cavity wall applications, ensuring enhanced thermal performance and reducing thermal bridging.
• Timber and Steel Frame Insulation: The board can easily be fitted into timber-framed or steel-framed constructions, offering a high level of thermal protection.

What Should You Look for When Choosing a PIR Insulation Board for Your Project?

When selecting a PIR insulation board like the Celotex XR4150 for your project, there are several important factors to consider:

1. Thermal Conductivity (λ-Value): A lower thermal conductivity value means better insulation. The Celotex XR4150 has an impressive 0.022 W/mK, providing excellent thermal efficiency and helping you meet U-value requirements with less thickness.

2. Thickness and R-Value: Choose the board thickness based on the specific insulation requirements of your project. The 150mm thickness of Celotex XR4150 offers an R-value of 6.80 m²K/W, ensuring robust insulation performance.

3. Application Versatility: Consider the various applications of the insulation. The Celotex XR4150 can be used across multiple areas of a building, including floors, roofs, and walls, making it a highly flexible solution for different project types.

4. Ease of Installation: Look for insulation boards that are easy to handle, cut, and install. The lightweight design and low emissivity foil facings on both sides of Celotex XR4150 make it simple to fit into tight spaces, between rafters or joists.

5. Environmental Impact: PIR boards like the Celotex XR4150 offer excellent environmental credentials, including being CFC/HCFC free, having a low Global Warming Potential (GWP), and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP). It’s also BRE Green Guide A+ rated, making it a sustainable choice for your project.

6. Compliance and Certifications: Ensure that the PIR insulation board meets local building regulations and standards. Celotex XR4150 is BBA-certified and meets BS EN 13165 standards, providing peace of mind in terms of quality and performance.

Additional Questions You May Have About PIR Insulation:

• How much insulation do I need for my project?
  The amount of insulation you need depends on the area you're insulating and the required U-values. The Celotex XR4150 board comes in sheets measuring 2400mm x 1200mm, providing 2.88 m² of coverage per sheet, so you can easily calculate how many boards are required for your project.

• Is PIR insulation better than other types of insulation?
  PIR insulation, like Celotex XR4150, generally offers better thermal performance per thickness compared to other materials like EPS or mineral wool. It achieves higher thermal efficiency, meaning you can meet insulation targets with thinner boards, saving valuable space.

• What is the lifespan of PIR insulation?
  PIR insulation is known for its long-term performance and durability, providing consistent thermal efficiency over the lifespan of a building. Celotex XR4150 is manufactured to maintain its insulating properties for decades, ensuring reliable energy savings.
