Recticel Eurothane GP PIR Insulation Board — Underfloor
Description

Eurothane GP is a general purpose rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) closed cell foam board, faced on both sides with a multi-layer coated aluminium foil.

It has an exceptionally low thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK. It does not degrade if exposed to moisture, is rot-proof and the boards have a high resistance to the passage of moisture vapour so reduce the risk of condensation.

Board size is 2400 x 1200mm, available in eight thicknesses from 25mm to 120mm.

Key Features
  • Eurothane GP is CFC and HCFC-free, i.e. zero ozone depletion potential (ODP)
  • Pentane-blown  polyisocyanurate foam
    • Global Warning Potential (GWP) rating of <5
    • Overall 'A' rating in Green Specification Guide
  • Lightweight and easy to cut
  • Rot-proof, does not degrade if exposed to moisture
  • High compressive strength — 140kPa
Scope of Use

Eurothane GP PIR is suitable for use in any type of residential, commercial or industrial building and can be used for both new builds and retrofit projects.

As underfloor insulation it is well suited for use:

  • As in-ground under slab insulation
  • Insulating on top of the slab
  • Insulating timber floors
  • Insulating intermediate floors
  • With underfloor heating systems
  • As slab edges insulation or room perimeters
  • Under floating timber floors
Limitations on Use
  • Eurothane GP should be covered with a thin damp-proof membrane before wet concrete is laid over the insulation
  • Must be used in accordance with the supplier Installation Guide
