The 52.5mm Unilin Safe-R SR/TB-MF Phenolic Insulated Plasterboard is a high-performance composite panel combining a 40mm phenolic PIR insulation core with dual foil facings. The foil layer is bonded to 12.5mm tapered edge plasterboard, making it ideal for internal walls, sloped roofs, and ceilings. The SR/TB panel is engineered specifically for mechanical fixing applications.
The 52.5mm Unilin Safe-R SR/TB-MF features composite foil facing on both sides with an integrated vapor control layer that effectively reduces condensation risk. This board delivers exceptional thermal insulation and drylining performance in one step, making it a preferred choice for new builds and refurbishment projects.

The composite glass tissue facing on the 52.5mm SR/TB-MF acts as a gas and vapor impermeable barrier, significantly reducing condensation risk. When joints are sealed and taped following standard drylining practices, a complete vapor control layer is created across the surface.
When drylining walls, fire stops must be installed at the top and bottom of each board and around all openings including doors and windows. These fire stops consist of continuous lines of adhesive that prevent fire from spreading behind the insulation. The unbroken adhesive lines also help prevent thermal bridging, improving overall wall U-Value performance.
Unilin PIR insulation boards must be stored on a clean, level surface above ground and kept protected from weather. Polythene wrapping alone does not provide adequate outdoor protection. Take care to protect the insulation during storage and on site. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling insulation.
