The 180mm EcoTherm Eco-Versal PIR delivers a multi-purpose solution with a rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) core and aluminium foil composite facing on both surfaces, offering no fibre construction.

This PIR Insulation Board suits both new builds and thermal upgrades to existing structures, providing an economical approach to lowering CO2 footprints and meeting Building Regulations/Standards. The universal design of the 180mm Ecotherm makes it perfect for insulating pitched roofs, floors, walls, dormer cheeks, and ceilings.

Applications

The 180mm ecotherm eco versal works well for both new construction and enhancing the thermal efficiency of existing building components. 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 180mm ecotherm floor insulation must be positioned above the Damp Proof Membrane (DPM) and must not be used where ground moisture contact may occur.

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

- Our 180mm Ecotherm PIR insulation works with most Underfloor Heating Systems (UFH). A minimum 500 gauge polythene sheet must be placed over the 180mm Insulation Boards before UFH installation. Refer to your UFH system manufacturer's instructions during installation.

For Walls | The guidelines for breathable membrane and vapour control when using 180mm ecotherm Wall insulation are as follows:

- Install a breathable membrane in accordance with manufacturer's guidance.

- To reduce condensation risk, position a Vapour Control Layer (VCL) beneath the plasterboard. This may be unnecessary if using insulated plasterboard.

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

- Fix a Breathable Membrane according to manufacturer's instructions. For pitched roofs, position the membrane over rafters and secure using tile or slate laths.

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

- For all over-rafter installations, 180mm ecotherm Roof Insulation must be secured with vertical counter battens, enabling traditional slate and tile lath fixing.

- Lay the breathable membrane directly on the 180mm Eco-Versal board before installing counter battens. Alternatively, install counter battens on top of the 180mm PIR Board and drape the breathable membrane over them.

- For applications requiring low U-values, installing insulation between rafters combined with an Insulated Plasterboard such as Ecotherm Eco-Liner on the rafter underside may prove more effective.
