Eurothane GP

Eurothane GP is a closed cell, CFC and HCFC-free (zero ozone depletion potential), rigid polyisocyanurate foam core faced, both sides, with a multi-layer coated aluminum foil. It has an exceptionally low thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/mK.

Product Benefits - Pitched Roofing Applications.

Eurothane GP is a high performance rigid PIR foam board for use in pitched roofing applications

Wider choice.

Eurothane GP, in a wide range of thicknesses, will assist in meeting the appropriate Building Regulations standard with any form of pitched roof construction.

Insulation savings.

It is possible to meet the Building Regulation 0.2 U-value requirement with a single layer of 150mm of Eurothane GP, or two layers, 90mm in between rafters and 30mm under, based upon 50mm wide rafters at 450mm centres.

Reduced risk of condensation.

Condensation within the roof structure is avoided as the timbers are maintained at the same temperature as the inside of the building.

Warm roof construction.

No requirement for roof space ventilation and, in domestic type applications, there is no need for a vapour control layer.

Increased usable space.

The roof void becomes part of the habitable accommodation.

Product Benefits - Flooring Applications.

Eurothane GP is a high performance rigid PIR foam board for use in ground and intermediate exposed floors.

Insulation savings.

It is possible to meet the new Building Regulation requirement in new housing with only 60mm of Eurothane GP refer to table on page 20.

Ideal for heated floors.

Heated floors are fast gaining in popularity due to their efficiency and comfort level. The use of Eurothane GP boards will ensure optimum system efficiency.

Product Benefits - Framed Wall Applications.

Wider choice.

Eurothane GP, in a wide range of thicknesses, will assist in meeting the appropriate Building Regulation standard with any form of timber or metal framed wall construction.

Insulation savings.

Used between studs in timber frame construction it is possible to meet the new Building Regulation requirement with only 90mm of Eurothane GP. Used as an insulated sheathing only 60mm of Eurothane GP is required.

Timber stud dimensions.

The excellent thermal performance of Eurothane GP allows the Building Regulation standard to be achieved using standard 89mm deep studs.

Adaptable.

Eurothane GP boards can be used with both timber and metal framed systems, either between the studs or as an insulated sheathing.

Sheathing system.

The use of Eurothane GP boards as an external sheathing creates a thermally efficient, insulated envelope avoiding the problems of thermal bridging by the timber or metal studs.

Reduced risk of condensation.

Walls constructed incorporating Eurothane GP boards create even warm conditions and incorporate vapour resistive surfaces so reducing the risk of condensation. The boards have a high resistance to the passage of moisture vapour.
