Ballytherm Insulation Ballytherm Insulation is a foil-faced Polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation board. The PIR board is formed by a continuous foaming process which gives the board its tight cell structure and bonds the facing to the foam. After foaming the boards are cut to size and left to cure. Technical description Dimensions Ballytherm Insulation boards are produced in sizes up to 2400 by 1200mm and in thicknesses between 25 and 100mm: boards up to 150mm thick can be supplied upon request. Most Ballytherm boards are butt edged, although rebated and tongue and grooved boards are available. Appearance Ballytherm insulation boards have a yellow foam core with laminated foil facings printed with the company logo. Structural Ballytherm is a strong, rigid board suitable for self-supporting applications in floors, walls and roofs. It can withstand the loadings in groundbearing floors. Environmental Ballytherm Insulation is produced with a zero ozone depletion blowing agent. The insulation boards' low thermal conductivity means less material is required to achieve a given thermal resistance than for most other insulants. During its service life the insulation will save many times more energy than is taken to manufacture it. Fire Ballytherm Insulation remains stable at temperatures up to 400ºC; at higher temperatures a protective char forms on the surface, slowing the spread of flame. Ballytherm insulation may be used safely behind non-flammable materials such as plasterboard. Moisture The PIR core of Ballytherm Insulation boards has a low moisture absorption capacity, making Ballytherm Insulation suitable for use in damp environments. The foil laminate facing gives the boards a high vapour resistance. Biological Ballytherm Insulation does not rot and does not contribute to the growth of mould, nor does it support insects or other pests. Thermal The PIR core of Ballytherm Insulation boards has an extremely low thermal conductivity, making the required thickness of insulation less than for most other insulants. The foil laminate facings of Ballytherm boards can also contribute to improved thermal performance: the low emissivity surface of the reflective foil can cut radiation heat transfer across an adjoining air space. Durability When Ballytherm Insulation is installed in accordance with manufacturer's guidance and industry codes of practice it has a service life comparable to that of the rest of the building. |
