Unilin Insulation | The new name for Xtratherm Insulation in the UK & Ireland.
The 54.5mm XT/TL-MF Thin-R Thermal Liner (Mechanically Fixed) combines a Unilin 45mm PIR insulation layer with a composite foil facing, bonded to 9.5mm tapered edge plasterboard. This composite panel delivers both thermal insulation and drylining in a single product, making it ideal for internal walls, sloped roofs, and ceilings where mechanical fixing is required.
The 54.5mm Insulated Plasterboard features composite foil facing on both sides with an integral vapour control layer built in, helping to minimise condensation risk. Designed for mechanical fixing applications, the XT/TL Thermal Liner delivers substantial thermal performance and drylining capability in a single operation, making it the go-to choice for new builds and renovation work.

The 54.5mm Thermal Liner XT/TL-MF delivers high-performance thermal insulation and drylining in a single operation, offering a practical solution for new construction and refurbishment schemes. This product enhances your home's energy efficiency whilst reducing installation time and labour costs.
The 54.5mm Insulation Board is chemically stable and manufactured with a blowing agent featuring zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and minimal Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it an environmentally responsible choice.
Upgrading your home's thermal performance delivers tangible advantages, from lower heating bills to enhanced comfort levels. The Unilin XT/TL-MF Thermal Liner represents an effective investment in energy efficiency and living standards.
The PIR board also delivers fire resistance benefits through continuous adhesive ribbons, particularly around vulnerable areas such as window and door openings.
The 54.5mm XT/TL-MF insulated plasterboards (45mm insulation + 9.5mm plasterboard) are composite building materials that integrate plasterboard with an insulation layer, typically PIR-based. The insulation core bonds to the plasterboard, creating a multi-purpose panel offering both thermal performance and a finished surface. These panels improve thermal and sound insulation whilst streamlining installation. Commonly fitted in walls, ceilings, and floors, they come in various sizes and thicknesses to match specific building needs.
