75mm insulation boards, rolls, and slabs are exactly 75mm thick. That depth is measured from one face to the other. This makes it easier to plan installation within joists, studwork, and other cavities.
75mm insulation thickness is common in floors, walls, and partitions where space may be limited or where a bigger board would project beyond the available build-up.
75mm thick insulation is any insulating material, including foam boards, mineral wool rolls, and rigid slabs, cut to a thickness of 75mm. All 75mm insulation materials limit heat transfer through the building fabric.
75mm insulation offers measurable thermal resistance when fitted properly. Some materials have lower thermal conductivity than others, which affects the overall R-value. This means the products resist heat more effectively per millimetre. It is why some 75mm PIR boards can perform nearly as well as thicker, lower-performing materials.
Here is how 75mm insulating products are used:
Common types of 75mm thick insulation include:
Firm, foam panels with foil backing. At insulation 75mm thick, they offer high thermal resistance in a relatively shallow layer.
PIR panels pack a lot of insulating power into that 75mm thickness without compressing. The foil facings contribute to thermal performance when installed with appropriate air spaces.
EPS is strong and can support a considerable load without crushing. As a result, 75mm EPS is commonly used in floors, ground slabs, and flat roof systems where insulation must carry the weight of screeds or finishes.
Also ideal for cavity walls and external wall insulation systems, and popular for standard residential and commercial builds where cost control is a priority.
75mm boards contain extremely small cells packed tightly together. Because of this structure, the material has very low conductivity.
Phenolic insulation also has good fire behaviour compared with many other rigid foams. It tends to char rather than melt quickly, which helps slow fire spread when used within a tested system.
Delivers strong thermal protection for long service periods without sagging or compressing.
These are soft, fibrous rolls that friction fit between joists or studs. The material is cut to size and friction-fitted. Rolls absorb noise and are noncombustible (Euroclass A1).
They are useful in internal partition walls or floors where sound control is as important as warmth.
These slabs are denser than glass wool.
They are classified A1 (noncombustible) for fire performance and are good at absorbing sound. They also hold their shape once fitted.
Commonly specified for separating walls, floors, and ceilings.

Cutting methods depend on material type:
For PIR boards:
For mineral wool rolls/slabs:
Wear goggles and a dust mask, as airborne fibres can irritate.
Between timber studs or floor joists:
Against walls:
To seal joints:
Butt insulation edges tightly and seal gaps with insulation tape or foam to reduce draughts and heat leaks.
