The advantages of PIR insulation boards
Polyisocyanurate (PIR) is a high-performance rigid foam widely used as thermal insulation in construction. Thanks to its excellent performance, PIR is a popular choice for construction experts and project managers striving for energy-efficient and sustainable buildings.
- high insulation value: PIR insulation boards offer a very high thermal resistance, which greatly limits heat losses in the winter and heat gains in the summer. This contributes to an energy-efficient building and helps to meet increasingly stringent energy performance standards.
- moisture resistant: Thanks to its closed-cell structure, PIR hardly absorbs any moisture. This ensures that the insulation value is retained for a long time and increases the durability of the structure.
- thin and lightweight: PIR combines an excellent insulation value with a limited thickness, leaving more usable space. In addition, the boards are lightweight, which ensures easy handling and quick installation on site.
- walkable: PIR insulation boards are sufficiently pressure-resistant and walkable, making them particularly suitable as insulation for flat roofs and other applications where load-bearing capacity is important.

FAQ
1. For which applications are Unilin PIR insulation boards suitable?
Unilin's product range includes solutions for cavity walls, floors, pitched roofs, and flat roofs. As a result, a single manufacturer can provide various building envelopes with high-performance thermal insulation, which simplifies project coordination.
2. What are the advantages of PIR compared to thicker insulation materials?
Thanks to the high insulation value of PIR, the same thermal performance can often be achieved with a thinner construction. This offers more design freedom, extra usable space, and more efficient integration within renovation and new construction projects.
3. Which PIR insulation board should I use for a cavity wall?
For cavity wall insulation, Unilin offers the Utherm Wall L. This PIR insulation board is coated on both sides with a multi-layer gas-tight laminate and was specifically developed for cavity wall applications.
4. Are PIR insulation boards suitable for use with underfloor heating?
Yes. Utherm Floor LE can be applied in floor constructions and is suitable for use in combination with underfloor heating. This creates an energy-efficient floor structure with a limited build-up height.
5. Are PIR insulation boards moisture resistant?
PIR insulation features a closed-cell structure, which means the material absorbs little moisture. This helps to maintain the insulating performance over the long term and contributes to the durability of the structure.
