Plasterboards with Phenolic Insulation

Enhance your project’s efficiency and comfort with Plasterboards featuring Phenolic Insulation – a high-performance solution that combines superior thermal efficiency with a clean, ready-to-finish surface. These innovative boards pair a rigid phenolic foam insulation core with high-quality plasterboard, offering outstanding energy savings and a professional internal finish in one convenient product. Phenolic insulation is renowned for its exceptional thermal performance, achieving low U-values with thinner boards – perfect for projects where space is limited. Suitable for use on walls, ceilings, and roofs, these composite boards deliver both comfort and compliance, helping buildings meet and exceed modern energy standards. Lightweight, durable, and easy to install, plasterboards with phenolic insulation simplify construction and finishing by combining two essential layers into one efficient product. Ideal for both new-build and refurbishment applications, they create warmer, more efficient spaces with a smooth surface ready for decoration.

Key Characteristics

• Outstanding thermal performance – phenolic insulation offers one of the lowest thermal conductivity values available.
• Slimline design – achieves excellent insulation levels with minimal loss of internal space.
• Smooth plasterboard finish – ready for painting, wallpapering, or direct finishing.
• Energy efficient – reduces heat loss and helps lower energy bills.
• Lightweight and easy to install – simplifies fitting on walls, ceilings, and roofs.
• Durable and long-lasting – provides consistent insulation performance over time.
• Ideal for new-builds and refurbishments – suits a wide range of building types and applications.
• Compliant with building regulations – supports compliance with thermal and fire safety standards.
• Available in multiple thicknesses – to suit different project and performance requirements.

Where to Install

• Internal walls – ideal for improving insulation in partition or external-facing walls.
• Ceilings – helps retain heat and improve comfort in upper levels.
• Pitched roofs and loft spaces – delivers high thermal performance in areas with limited depth.
• Dormer cheeks – combines insulation and internal lining for roof extensions.
• Room-in-roof conversions – maximises energy efficiency in converted attic spaces.
• Refurbishment projects – suitable for upgrading existing walls or ceilings.
• Timber or metal stud systems – easily integrates with common framing structures.
• Direct bonding to masonry – can be applied using adhesive for quick and efficient installation.

Methods of Fitting

• Mechanical Fixings (with or without Battens)

Plasterboards with phenolic insulation can be fitted using mechanical fixings directly to the substrate or onto timber or metal battens. This method provides a secure and stable installation, ideal for uneven surfaces or where services need to be concealed behind the board.

• Dot and Dab (Adhesive Bonding)

Boards can also be installed directly onto masonry surfaces using the dot and dab technique. Adhesive is applied in dabs across the wall to bond the board in place, allowing fast and efficient installation with minimal disruption – a popular choice for refurbishment and retrofit projects.
