The difference between tissue-faced and foil-faced thermal insulation boards is in which type of single ply membrane solution is most appropriate to be installed in contact with them, and the way in which those membranes are attached. The type of facing also affects the overall thermal performance of the insulation board. The difference between the […]

IKO launches new high-performance insulation board

IKO has bolstered its insulation range with a new, high-performance PIR product for flat roofs. Thanks to its high compressive strength and low lambda value, IKO enertherm GOLD improves heat retention and requires minimal thickness to achieve thermal requirements. Manufactured with a coarser foam, the product also retains its shape and dimensional stability for longer, […]

What compressive strength should thermal insulation achieve for flat roofs?

The compressive strength of the chosen thermal insulation should be enough to bear both dead and active loads imposed by the flat roof and its use. The product needs to offer sufficient compressive strength for the intended application – and also be capable of withstanding any demands placed on it during installation. Compressive strength declarations […]
