Celotex insulation fitted at timber clad building

Celotex XR3000 insulation boards have been specified for an office complex featuring green technologies.

Sunrise House in Burton-on-Trent is a new building for Punch Taverns, and required a high performance, cost effective insulation to ensure a superb thermal envelope.

Celotex XR3000 insulation was applied to Sunrise House's concrete soffit flooring, and was chosen for its performance qualities, workability and cost effectiveness.

A key quality of Celotex XR3000 insulation is its thickness.

Owing to its manufacture, Celotex is the only PIR manufacturer which can deliver up to 200mm, in a single application, from stock.

Celotex XR3000 can achieve low U-values in cut to fit applications, and prevents the need to double up thinner layers of insulation.

This helps designers to satisfy the requirements of Approved Document L (2006) of the building regulations and BREEAM.

The foil faced 110mm boards are made from polyisocyanurate (PIR) foam, and have an R-value that outperforms many other materials, including mineral wools.

The insulation boards are an effective way to reduce costs and carbon emissions.

Celotex boards are rated A+ by the 2008 Green Guide to Specification, and offer low Global Warming Potential and zero Ozone Depletion Potential.

Celotex XR3000 boards are lightweight yet durable and can be cut to shape on site with a saw, increasing speed and ease of installation.
