IKO Insulation Board

IKO insulation refers to a range of insulation boards manufactured by the company IKO. One of their main insulation products is the IKO Enertherm PIR insulation board (sometimes just “Enertherm insulation board”). Polyisocyanurate (pir) is a rigid foam material widely used in building insulation because it offers superior thermal performance.

What Is IKO Insulation Board?

IKO insulation board is a rigid panel with a hard PIR foam core. The panel features protective facings on both sides of the foam. These facings are typically made from reflective aluminium foil (some variants use a coated glass-fibre composite facer).

Both the foam and foil facers reduce heat transmission through floors, roofs, and walls:

• The PIR foam contains small, closed cells that trap air. This trapped air slows the movement of heat through the material, which improves thermal resistance.
• The foil facings reflect heat, helping keep a stable temperature inside the building.

What Is IKO Enertherm Insulation Sheet Used For?

The Enertherm insulation sheet can be used for:

• Floors (including concrete or underfloor heating systems) to help regulate indoor temperatures.
• Flat or pitched roofs as part of waterproofing or membrane roofing systems.
• Walls – including timber frame, steel frame, or cavity walls – to reduce heat loss or gain through external walls.
• Interior wall insulation (when used with insulated PIR-plasterboard laminates) – This helps when renovating or upgrading wall insulation from inside.

Depending on the project (new build or refurbishment), IKO Enertherm insulation can be used almost anywhere insulation is needed.

Benefits Of IKO Enertherm Insulation

Enertherm insulation offers multiple benefits, including:

1. Slim profile with high thermal protection. PIR foam delivers low thermal conductivity in a thin, compact form.
2. Lightweight and easy to handle. The boards are easier to carry and cut than heavy masonry. This makes installation faster and simpler.
3. Moisture-resistant and stable. The closed cells within the core keep the PIR core stable, and the aluminium or laminated facing gives extra resistance to moisture. This maintains long-term insulating performance.
4. Versatile. You can use one type of board for floors, roofs, walls, or interior insulation, or you can choose different variants depending on the building requirements.
5. Environmental compliance: IKO PIR boards are manufactured without CFCs, HCFCs, or HFC blowing agents and meet relevant building-insulation standards.

How to cut IKO insulation board?

You can cut IKO insulation using a sharp handsaw, fine-toothed panel saw, or a utility knife (for thinner boards). It helps to score the board first, then snap for thinner sheets, or saw through for thicker ones – like cutting drywall or wood. That makes shaping boards for floors, walls, or roofs easier.

How good is IKO insulation board?

Very good. Its PIR foam core is efficient, and the foil/facing improves moisture resistance. Its low thermal conductivity (≈ 0.022–0.023 W/(m·K) when using ALU-faced PIR) makes it one of the more efficient insulation boards.
