90mm insulation board is a thick, rigid insulation panel used to reduce heat transfer through the building fabric. This depth of insulation is specified when space allows, and high levels of thermal resistance are needed to meet modern performance targets.
A 90mm thick insulation board is a factory-manufactured panel with a fixed depth of insulation material measuring approximately 90mm from front to back. The core is usually a rigid foam insulation that restricts heat transfer through a closed-cell structure.
The board is rigid and does not compress under normal installation loads. This makes it easier to cut, fit tightly, and maintain consistent performance across the whole wall or floor.
An insulation thickness 90mm board is used for:
Because 90mm is relatively thick, it is rarely used where space is very tight. It suits projects where thermal performance takes priority over saving internal space. 90mm insulation boards are most common in refurbishments, extensions, and higher-spec new builds.
90mm insulation boards are available in the following types:
EPS offers steady thermal performance and has good moisture resistance when correctly detailed. It is often used in floors and external wall systems where cost control matters.
Phenolic foam offers high thermal resistance relative to its thickness. It is brittle compared to EPS or PIR, so careful handling is advised. It is commonly preferred to deliver strong performance where increasing insulation thickness is not feasible.
PIR insulation 90mm board is widely used on internal walls, floors, and ceilings. It offers strong thermal efficiency in both residential and commercial buildings. It is typically installed behind a separate plasterboard lining or structural deck, depending on the application.
Installing a thick 90mm insulation board has several advantages:
The rigidity of the board helps limit gaps, improving real-world thermal performance.

You can buy insulation 90mm thick board online from Insulation Wholesale. We stock multiple insulation types at this thickness, hold UK stock, and move orders quickly. We also offer trade discounts, pallet deals, and fast nationwide delivery straight to your site.
For floors, 90mm EPS or PIR insulation boards are commonly specified when matched to the required load rating. The board must always be paired with the correct structural deck and vapour control where required.
In a loft, a 90mm insulation board performs effectively when insulation is installed between rafters or above a deck. It provides strong thermal resistance in a limited depth and keeps performance consistent.
