When designing spaces, architects are faced with energy codes requiring insulation that can often reduce the usable interior space of a building or home. With the Kooltherm K8 Cavity Board and Kooltherm K12 Framing Board from Kingspan Insulation, architects have an option that is engineered to take up less space while delivering thermal performance and fire and smoke protection.
Kingspan Kooltherm K8 Cavity Board is an insulation, with a fiber–free rigid thermoset phenolic core, faced on both sides with a low emissivity composite foil facing which is used for insulation in partially filled cavity walls.
Kingspan Kooltherm K12 Framing Board is an insulation, with a fiber–free rigid thermoset phenolic insulation core faced on both sides with a low emissivity composite foil facing which is used in wood or steel frame walls. It is resistant to the passage of water vapor, unaffected by air infiltration, and can be used between studs or as an insulating sheathing.
Both products feature a core of thermoset fiber-free phenolic insulant manufactured with a blowing agent that has zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and low Global Warming Potential (GWP).
