PrimeTherm ERS PIR Board
Description

PrimeTherm ERS PIR Insulation Board delivers high-performance thermal efficiency in a rigid, lightweight board designed for modern construction.

Manufactured from polyisocyanurate (PIR), PrimeTherm ERS offers outstanding insulation with minimal thickness, achieving higher R-Values often without the need of increasing structure depth just to accommodate the insulation. The closed-cell structure provides excellent moisture resistance, compressive strength, and long-term dimensional stability, ensuring reliable performance across all building types.

Suitable for roof, ceiling, wall, and concrete floor applications, PrimeTherm ERS helps meet and exceed NZ Building Code Clause H1 requirements for warmer, drier, and more energy-efficient buildings.

Easy to install, the PrimeTherm ERS range combines strength, efficiency, and sustainability, giving building designers and builders confidence with their projects.

Key Features

Insulation: 

  • PIR (Polyisocyanurate) insulation boards are widely recognised as a premium choice for thermal performance, offering unmatched efficiency and reliability in a variety of construction applications. 
  • The closed-cell structure provides excellent thermal resistance ensuring long-lasting performance.
  • The high-quality characteristics of PIR has earned it a strong reputation among architects, builders, and engineers worldwide as a dependable and high-performance insulation solution.

Exceptional Moisture Resistance: 

  • PIR insulation boards feature a closed-cell structure that resists water absorption, maintaining thermal performance even in damp or humid conditions.
  • This moisture resistance reduces the risk of mould, degradation, and structural issues, providing long-term durability and reliable insulation.

 

Scope of Use

Applications include:

  • Concrete Underslab Insulation
  • Concrete Slab Edge Insulation
  • Warm Ceiling Insulation
  • Warm Roof Insulation
  • Concrete Masonry Insulation
  • Warm Wall Interior Insulation
  • Warm Wall Exterior Insulation
Statement of Building Code Compliance

In line with the New Zealand Building Code, Clause H1 was updated and came into effect on 1st May 2023.  This update represents the most significant revision to energy efficiency requirements in over a decade. Its primary goal is to make new buildings warmer, drier, and healthier, while also reducing the energy and environmental impact associated with heating.

Clause H1 governs the energy efficiency of buildings, setting requirements for insulation in walls, floors, and ceilings, as well as the thermal performance of windows and doors. The latest changes introduce substantial increases in minimum R-Values across the building envelope, reflecting a stronger emphasis on overall thermal performance.

With this increase, larger structural members are likely to be required to accommodate the insulation depth, increasing the cost of the build.  PrimeTherm ERS PIR Board has a wide range of solutions with minimal thickness and a high R-Value allowing you to keep structural members at a minimum.
