Applications

This 160mm ecotherm eco versal board performs well in both new construction and thermal upgrade scenarios. Suitable applications include:

1. Floors
2. Pitched roofs
3. Cold flat roofs
4. Timber frame walls
5. Solid walls
6. Dormer cheeks
7. Ceilings
8. Room-in-the-roof applications

For floors | Moisture tolerance guidelines for Eco-Versal are as follows:

- The 160mm ecotherm floor insulation must be positioned above the Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) and kept away from ground moisture contact.

- Where a concrete slab is present or specified, lay a protective membrane of minimum 500 gauge thickness over Eco-Versal prior to screed application.

- Our 160mm Ecotherm PIR insulation works with most Underfloor Heating Systems (UFH). A minimum 500 gauge polythene sheet must cover the 160mm Insulation Boards before UFH installation. Refer to your UFH system manufacturer's guidance during installation.

For Walls | The guidelines for breathable membrane and vapour control when using 160mm ecotherm Wall insulation are as follows:

- Install a breathable membrane in accordance with manufacturer specifications.

- To reduce condensation risk, fit a Vapour Control Layer (VCL) behind the plasterboard, though this may be unnecessary with insulated plasterboard products.

For Roofs | Guidelines for using breathable membrane, vapour control, vertical battens, and insulation layers with Eco-Versal are as follows:

- Secure a Breathable Membrane per manufacturer guidance. For pitched roofs, lay the membrane over rafters and fix using tile or slate laths.

- Assess the requirement for a Vapour Control Layer (VCL) and/or undertile ventilation according to BS 5250:2021 (Code of practice for control of condensation in buildings).

- For all over-rafter installations, 160mm ecotherm Roof Insulation must be secured using vertical counter battens, enabling traditional slate and tile lath fixing methods.

- Position the breathable membrane directly on the 160mm Eco-Versal board before fitting counter battens, or alternatively install counter battens on top of the 160mm PIR Board and drape the breathable membrane over them.

- Where lower U-values are required, consider installing insulation between rafters combined with an Insulated Plasterboard such as Ecotherm Eco-Liner on the rafter underside for improved performance.
