40mm Kingspan OPTIM‑R Vacuum Insulation Panel - OPTIM‑R Flooring System - 600mm x 1200mm

40mm Kingspan OPTIM‑R Vacuum Insulation Panel - OPTIM‑R Flooring System - OPTIM‑R Flooring System is an ultra‑thin, ultra‑high‑performance vacuum insulation flooring system designed for projects where achieving very low U‑values is essential but construction depth is severely limited. The OPTIM‑R Flooring System uses rigid vacuum insulation panels (VIPs) containing a microporous core sealed within a gas‑tight envelope, delivering insulation performance up to five times better than conventional materials. VIPs are combined with phenolic infill boards to fill irregular areas, penetrations, and zones where VIPs cannot be placed.

This hybrid approach ensures the entire floor area is insulated effectively while maintaining the thinnest possible build‑up, making it ideal for both new‑build and refurbishment projects where excavation depth or floor height is restricted. 

CHARACTERISTICS

• Vacuum insulation performance - declared thermal conductivity 0.007 W/mK, among the lowest available. 
• Ultra‑thin build‑ups - solves floor height constraints in refurbishments and tight new‑build designs. 
• Hybrid system design - phenolic infill boards cut around penetrations and load‑bearing walls. 
• High thermal efficiency - enables very low U‑values even where standard insulation cannot be used. 
• Resistant to water vapour passage. 
• VIPs are over 90% recyclable by weight. 
• Certified performance - BDA Agrément certified for 20–50 mm thicknesses. 
• Non‑deleterious material - safe for use in all building types.

• Floors with limited construction depth
• Retrofit projects where excavation is impractical.
• New‑build floors requiring enhanced U‑values.
• Underfloor heating systems.
