What Is Foam Board Insulation Used For?
PIR (Polyisocyanurate) foam insulation board has become a top choice for modern energy-saving construction materials, offering superior performance and versatility. Widely used in steel structure buildings, foam insulation PIR panel serves as both wall and roof panels, providing commercial building and house thermal insulation.
It is suitable for various applications, from steel factories and residential buildings to public structures. This material achieves superior insulation with thinner thickness, while also meeting the requirements for fire resistance, water resistance, and soundproofing. It helps reduce costs and improve efficiency throughout a building's lifecycle.
Key Advantages of PIR Board
Extremely Low Thermal Conductivity
PIR rigid foam has a thermal conductivity of ≤0.024 W/m·K, making it a highly effective thermal insulator. A 25mm thick PIR board provides the same insulation performance as 40mm of EPS, 45mm of mineral wool, or 140mm of cork, offering significant material savings.
Water Resistance and Durability
PIR foam features a closed-cell structure with low water absorption, ensuring stable thermal performance even in humid conditions. This material is resistant to deformation, cracking, and ensures long-term stability. When properly maintained, PIR insulation can last over 30 years.
Excellent Fire Resistance
PIR foam meets high fire safety standards (B1/B2 grade) and exhibits flame-retardant properties. In the event of a fire, the material carbonizes on the surface to prevent flame spread, offering enhanced safety with a high ignition point compared to wood.
Cost Efficiency
While the initial cost of PIR foam may be higher than other traditional insulation materials, the long-term energy savings in heating and cooling costs make it a highly cost-effective solution. Additionally, its superior insulation performance allows for thinner walls and roofs, increasing usable interior space.
GFI PIR Foam Insulation Board Solution
GFI Duct’s PIR Foam Insulation Board is widely used for insulating walls and roofs in various buildings. The board's density ranges from 30-60 kg/m³ and can be customized to meet specific project requirements. It offers excellent thermal performance, structural strength, and weather resistance, improving building energy efficiency.
The surface of the PIR board can be laminated with materials like cement fiberglass, aluminum foil, aluminum foil paper, or kraft paper. Cement fiberglass composites offer high strength and insulation, suitable for load-bearing structures, while aluminum foil provides moisture and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for roofing and exterior walls.
