From walls and floors to specific uses like fire protection and insulation, the vast assortment of boards available at Insulation4Less caters to distinct needs. Understanding the range of products and their specific uses ensures the optimal selection for your project.

Weather Defence Boards

These boards, like the Siniat Weather Defence Board and Kemwell WeatherKem, are designed to withstand external environmental factors, providing a robust defence against moisture, wind, and more. Ideal for external sheathing, they typically offer excellent stability and protection throughout the construction phase and beyond.

Tile Backer and Construction Boards

Cembacker Tile Backer Board, Hardiebacker 500 Tile Backing Board, and various STS Construction Boards fall into this category. Specifically formulated for wet areas like bathrooms and kitchens, these boards provide a solid, water-resistant base for tiles, preventing moisture damage and ensuring longevity. They’re known for their dimensional stability and ease of installation, ensuring tiles remain firmly in place.

Insulation Boards

With options like the STS Insulation Board, this category is crucial for thermal management across various structures. Different sizes and dimensions cater to diverse use cases, offering effective insulation solutions to meet regulatory and sustainability objectives. Careful consideration of thermal conductivity and specific insulation needs should guide the selection process.

Fire Protection Boards

Products such as Kemwell FP-900 and Promat Masterboard are engineered to enhance fire resistance, providing added layers of safety and compliance in construction. Often utilised in areas that require enhanced fire protection, like partition walls and ceilings, these boards can help in slowing the spread of fire, safeguarding structures, and ensuring compliance with fire safety standards.

Selecting the Right Board

The choice of board can significantly influence the functionality, safety, and efficiency of the structures being developed.

• For Weather Protection: Prioritise boards offering robust defence against environmental elements.

• Tiling in Wet Areas: Opt for water-resistant backer boards to safeguard against moisture damage.

• Fire Safety: Implement boards that enhance fire resistance in critical areas of the structure.

• Thermal Management: Choose insulation boards that align with the thermal requirements of the project.

• General Construction: Seek boards that offer a blend of sturdiness, versatility, and specific functional benefits like acoustic management or impact resistance.
