IKO Enertherm ALU PIR Insulation Board 160mm

The 160mm IKO Enertherm ALU PIR Insulation Board delivers reliable thermal performance through a rigid polyisocyanurate foam core that contains no CFCs, HCFCs, or HFCs. Featuring a dual-sided gas-tight aluminium facing with seven layers of reflective ALU cladding, this 160mm Insulation Board provides exceptional durability. Rigorous testing confirms its performance against water ingress, mechanical impact, corrosion, and emissivity across demanding conditions.

Range Of Applications

1. Rooftop: Flat Roof Insulation for timber, concrete and steel deck.
2. Sarking: pitched roof insulation (type nF with neutral felt).
3. Floor: floor insulation (underfloor heating and concrete floors)
4. Wall: cavity wall insulation.
5. Wrap: outside wall insulation (closed joints).
6. Comfort: loft insulation.
7. Comfort Easy: Loft floor insulation.

This 160mm PIR board suits external walls, pitched roofs, floors, internal walls, inverted roofs, metal roofs, and flat roofs thanks to its superior thermal performance. The insulation properties boost energy efficiency and thermal resistance across any application. Better energy efficiency means reduced heating and cooling costs—an important consideration given current energy prices. These boards are also environmentally responsible, containing no CFCs, HCFCs, or HFCs, so they pose no environmental risk.

About

Pairing the 160mm PIR insulation board with Roof Membranes is straightforward, and the boards maintain their insulating capacity and build quality over time due to excellent dimensional stability. Rot and mould resistance further extend product lifespan. The high thermal values and slim profile reduce overall build thickness, maximising usable space in roofs, floors, or cavities.

Micro Cell Technology

IKO Enertherm incorporates Micro Cell Technology (MCT), achieved through carefully balanced raw materials and production processes. This creates an exceptionally fine cell structure within the insulation.

Shape retention: IKO Enertherm boards retain their shape and dimensional stability longer than PIR Boards with coarser foam structures. This prevents cold bridging and ensures extended service life without compromising insulating properties.

Moisture resistance: MCT technology in 160mm IKO insulation boards delivers very low long-term water absorption (< 0.6%) compared to alternative materials. The boards remain rot and mould-proof, preserving insulation value by eliminating weight gain from moisture uptake.

Pressure insulation: 160mm IKO PIR boards offer outstanding pressure resistance through high elasticity. MCT technology provides flexible cells that resist rupture and prevent permanent indentations even under foot traffic.
