This 42.5mm K118 Kingspan Kooltherm Insulated Plasterboard (40mm) is a premium performance, lower lambda internal wall insulated plasterboard, with an advanced fibre-free rigid thermoset phenolic core faced with paperlines on reverse side and plasterboard on the front face.

Kooltherm K118 (previously Kingspan K18 and K17) provides high-levels of insulation, dry-lining and vapour control layer in one easily applicable 2400mm x 1200mm insulated sheets.

K118 Kingspan Kooltherm is a highly durable thermal insulated plasterboard with a certified thermal conductivity (lambda value) of 0.019W/mK designed to save money by reducing the heat loss from buildings.

These easy to install and decorate premium insulation panels are suitable for new build and refurbishment projects.

The insulation core and facings used in the manufacture of Kingspan K118 resist attack by mould, fungi, bacteria and microbial growth.

Kingspan Kooltherm K118 is a high-performance rigid thermoset fibre-free phenolic insulation manufactured with a blowing agent that has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and low Global Warming Potential (GWP).

The front facing of Kooltherm K118 is a 12.5mm tapered edge gypsum plasterboard which easily accepts dry jointing materials and plaster skim finish.

The reverse facing of Kingspan Kooltherm K118 is a low emissivity composite foil, autohesively bonded to the phenolic insulation core during manufacture. 

This reflective, low emissivity surface improves the thermal resistance of any unventilated cavity adjacent to the product.

If correctly installed, Kingspan Kooltherm K118 can have an indefinite life (durability depends on the supporting structure).

Kingspan Kooltherm K118 Insulated Plasterboard Features:

 · Premium performance rigid thermoset phenolic insulation.

 · Thermal conductivity (lambda-value) of 0.019 W/mK!

 · Insulation, dry-lining and vapour barrier in one board.

 · Allows quick response heating.

 · Unaffected by air infiltration.

 · Standard size 2400mm x 1200mm (8 x 4) boards.

 · Resistant to the passage of water vapour.

 · Easy to handle and install.

 · Ideal for new build, retrofit and refurbishment.

 · Non-deleterious material.

 · Manufactured with a blowing agent that has zero ODP and low GWP.

Resistance to Solvents, Fungi and Rodents:

The insulation core is resistant to short-term contact with petrol and with most dilute acids, alkalis and mineral oils. 

However, it is recommended that any spills be cleaned off fully before the boards are installed. 

Ensure that safe methods of cleaning are used, as recommended by the suppliers of the spilt liquid. 

The insulation core is not resistant to some solvent-based adhesive systems, particularly those containing methyl ethyl ketone. 

Adhesives containing such solvents should not be used in association with this product. 

Damaged boards or boards that have been in contact with harsh solvents or acids should not be used. 

Water Vapour Resistance:

The non-plasterboard component of the product typically achieves a resistance far greater than 100 MNs/g, when tested in accordance with BS EN 12086: 2013 .

For the purposes of calculation of condensation risk, the resistivity of the plasterboard component of the product should be taken as 50 MNs/gm.
