Installation

Installation is a very important step. Firstly, Kooltherm boards should never be stored outside, keep them safe and away from moisture. Boards that have been subjected to water or other moisture should not be used for insulation purpose. Methyl Ethyl ketone can be harmful for the core of the boards and it should therefore be kept in mind that no product containing this solvent is brought in contact with the board.

The board should be cut precisely according to the correct measurements.

Floor insulation will require two layers of board, and a polythene sheet is to be overlaid after installing the floorboard to prevent moisture to enter. Also care must be taken to avoid installation of the board under direct load foundation point. Wall insulation will require a single layer. While installing boards in the external walls, vertical joints must be coinciding with vertical members. Boards must be butted lightly so as to ease the process of insulation. Take special care to use insulation fasteners having a head diameter of at least 35mm for ceiling insulators. This will ensure a permanent fix for your board. You can use the method of taping for fixing wall insulators also. Aluminium foil which is 48mm in width can be used to do so.

Plasterboards can be fixed either by making an adhesive bond or by mechanically fitting it. This depends on the wall on which the plasterboard is to be attached. While the cavity boards are to be fixed by wall ties or retaining clips.

External wall insulation boards should only be installed by sanctioned installers. It is required to have a higher technical skill which will not be possible to install it without some expert guidance.
