27.5mm (28mm) XT/TL-FR is an insulated plasterboard made of 15mm Unilin PIR foam insulation core bonded to 12.5mm fire plasterboard used in drylining applications where fire rating is crucial.
FR Insulated Plasterboard with a Pink Paper Face offers 30 minutes fire protection in a single layer and is an ideal solution for receiving a plaster finish or for direct decoration.
XT/TL-FR Fire Rated Pink Plasterboard improves fire protection and thermal performance in kitchens, bathrooms, toilets, walls and ceilings.
This Drylining Board provides an effective vapour control layer and is suitable for a variety of wall types for both refurbishment and new build projects.
The composite kraft facing on both sides of the XT/TL-FR Thermal Laminate incorporates an integral vapour barrier, which helps to reduce the risk of condensation.
Fire Plasterboard can provide up to 60 minutes fire resistance, which can be achieved with a double layer application of pink plasterboard.
If you need a 60 minutes fire rating you can use a second layer of fire plasterboard over the installed XT/TL-FR insulated plasterboard.
This fire insulated plasterboard can be readily cut using a sharp knife or fine toothed saw.
Appropriate PPE should be worn when handling XT/TL-FR Insulated Plasterboard.
Thermal conductivity of PIR (polyisocyanurate) foam core is 0.022 W/mK.
Thermal conductivity of fire shield plasterboard is 0.24 W/mK.

Insulated Plasterboard XT/TL-FR (Fire Resistant) Installation:
· Ensure the wall is dry and free from any protrusions / wall paper etc.
· Mark the position of XT/TL-FR fire resistant insulated plasterboard on the wall.
· Setting out and planning board positioning is essential.
· Apply adhesive dabs to the wall in accordance with BS8212, ensuring a 50mm continuous ribbon of adhesive is created at the top and bottom of each board and around all openings.
· Follow adhesive manufacturer’s guidelines.
· General recommendation is to apply vertical dabs at 300mm centres, 25mm in from the edge.
· Dabs should be 50-75mm wide and approximately 25mm deep to allow for tamping.
· Total contact with board area should be minimum 20%.
· Maximum height installation for this system is 3m.
· Lift the XT/TL-FR fire resistant insulated plasterboard into position using wedges on the floor.
· Align XT/TL-FR fire resistant insulated plasterboard squarely on wall.
· Apply pressure to the board to level and embed it into the adhesive.
· Allow a 15mm expansion joint at the top and bottom of the panel, and fill with foam filler.
· Insulation should be cut back to accommodate an adjoining panel at external corners.
· Joints should be tightly butted.
· When the adhesive has dried, 3 mechanical fixings (thermally broken) should be fixed through the centre of the board.
· Seal and tape the joints of XT/TL-FR fire resistant insulated plasterboard to ensure a the continuous vapour control layer is created.
· Plaster skim to finish.
· When upgrading existing properties, a professional should be engaged to assess the property for appropriate insulation treatments and effective detailing.
· Walls should be dry and decoration stripped back to the wall substrate.
· Appropriate ventilation strategies must be considered as part of the overall energy upgrade.

INSTALLERS
No matter whether you choose a local installer or a national company, there’s a few tips to help you find the right installer for your home insulation improvements, such as asking for recommendations and making sure that they’re part of a certification scheme. This makes sure that they have the right skills and standards of workmanship to carry out the installation, and you can be sure that they know exactly what they are doing.
4 TIPS FOR CHOOSING THE BEST INSULATION INSTALLER
1. Thermal inspection picture in portfolio
It’s worth seeing a installer’s previous work. There’s no harm asking if you can see any properties nearby that they’ve installed insulation in. Best way would be to see Infrared Thermal Imaging Inspections. Thermal cameras spot small, but key changes in temperature in different areas of a house, identifying problematic areas that the human eye never could and some that a visual inspection could only hypothesize.
2. Reviews
Along with checking recommendations and previous work, finding reviews online can often be a great way to find out if they provide a good service or not. However, it’s best not to solely rely on reviews you may find or review websites, as there’s no controlling who writes them.
3. Compare prices
Comparing prices will also ensure companies can’t take advantage of you and give you a fair price.
4. Word of Mouth
The best way to find a great insulation installer is through recommendations. Make sure you ask friends and family. They will most likely give you their honest opinion and can tell you from first hand experience.
Whether you require a wall, cladding, external wall, loft or floor insulation fitted, you can find and hire your local insulation installers from popular UK web pages. A simple internet search will return thousands of potential installers near your area.
