Unilin Insulation (formerly Xtratherm) Thin-R PIR Board
50mm Unilin Thin-R Insulation Board (2400mm x 1200mm x 50mm) is a high-performance PIR rigid foil faced polyisocyanurate thermal foam insulation solution for roofs, walls, floors, timber and steel framed construction. With a certified thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK, this ultra-thin board delivers exceptional thermal performance while minimising space loss.
50mm Unilin PIR boards excel in pitched roof applications (ventilated, hybrid or warm configurations), providing superior U-values without compromising headroom. Roof construction represents a significant thermal weak point in building envelopes, and this board substantially reduces heat escape whilst delivering excellent thermal bridging performance. Suitable for diverse construction scenarios including pitched roof insulation, wall systems and floor applications, the board combines thin profile with lightweight construction and straightforward installation. Fire-resistant and water-repellent properties ensure durability, whilst the minimal environmental footprint supports sustainable building practices.

Warm roof insulation construction offers an effective approach for insulating complex roof structures. Positioning insulation above or between roof timbers maintains the structural envelope at internal environmental conditions, minimising thermal stress and condensation formation.
Store 50mm PIR insulation on a clean, level surface away from ground contact and protected from weather exposure. Polythene wrapping alone does not provide sufficient outdoor protection. Handle carefully throughout storage and installation phases. Insulation boards cut easily with a sharp knife or fine-toothed saw.
