Kingspan Kooltherm® K118 Insulated Plasterboard 52.5mm (50mm) is a market leading, premium performance, lower lambda internal wall insulated plasterboard, with an advanced fibre-free rigid thermoset phenolic core.
52.5mm K118 Kingspan Kooltherm is a highly durable thermal insulated plasterboard with a certified thermal conductivity (lambda-value) of 0.019 W/mK designed to save money by reducing the heat loss from buildings.
Kooltherm K118 Kingspan (previously Kingspan Kooltherm K18 and K17) provides high-levels of insulation, dry-lining and vapour control layer in one easily applicable 2400mm x 1200mm (8x4) insulated plasterboard sheets.
These easy to install and decorate premium K118 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).

· 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.

We can help to calculate price per m2 or linear meter (one meter in length) cost, please just contact us via phone 02081910776, email or live chat. Alternatively, you can work it out yourself quickly and easily: to get cost per meter square please divide price shown in orange area by ''Required area (m2)'' Example price of £28.80 divided by board coverage 2.88m2 = cost of £10.00 per m2.
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.
