PIR insulation boards

PIR boards (polyisocyanurate insulation) have a wide applicability and are perfectly suited to insulate a flat roof or a cavity wall. This material has got excellent thermal properties, even when the board is rather thin.

PIR is a rigid foam board which has a very high fire safety value. Most PIR boards are provided with a vapour barrier on both sides. Besides, PIR insulation boards are well-suited for the insulation of roofs with an EPDM -or PVC roofing.
