20mm PIR insulation is a versatile material widely used in construction projects. These insulation boards are made using polyisocyanurate (PIR), with each board measuring 20mm in thickness.
PIR insulation 20mm is made from polyisocyanurate foam, a type of plastic. The chemical processes that occur during manufacture create a sturdy foam characterised by closed cells. This structure ensures excellent heat and moisture resistance. This foam is then spread between a pair of foil facings, where it’s allowed to expand up to 20mm, before being further processed and sized into the various boards you see on our website.
20mm PIR boards are used to insulate roofs, floors, and walls in residential and commercial construction projects. You can use them in internal walls, different types of floors, and roofs, including pitched and flat roofs.
Most 20mm PIR insulation sheets have a foil-facing on each side, with manufacturers designing specialised facings for each category of 20mm PIR board. These facings have low emissivity, meaning they reflect heat generated in a room back into the room, minimising heat loss.
All 20mm PIR boards share similar properties where it counts: They are all made from quality PIR foam and have a thickness of 20mm. However, there may be slight differences in terms of packaging and pricing.
PIR insulation offers high moisture resistance and effectively repels moisture without causing any damage. However, for optimal performance, Insulationwholesale.co.uk advises against exposing your PIR insulation boards to moisture for extended periods.
Generally, PIR insulation sheets, including 20mm boards, are durable and long-lasting. Kingspan 20mm boards, for example, are designed to last for the life of the building. Note that improper installation can affect the boards' efficiency; therefore, ensure you follow the manufacturer’s installation instructions to maximise the performance of your PIR boards.
