Kooltherm K7 Pitched Roof Board
Description

Kooltherm K7 Pitched Roof Board is a rigid thermoset phenolic insulation for roof/ceiling applications. It has a fibre-free core and a highly reflective aluminium foil on both sides autohesively bonded to the insulation core during manufacture.

Kingspan Kooltherm K7 is a roof insulation board used to insulate the rafters of tiled, slated or profiled metal roofs. It is suitable for use in skillion roofs, attic floors/ceiling levels, mansard roofs and dormer windows.

Kooltherm K7 is manufactured with a blowing agent that has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and low Global Warming Potential (GWP).
