White-Faced Insulation for Concrete Soffits

If correctly applied, Kooltherm products can be expected to have a long life of service. Their durability depends on the supporting structure and the conditions of its use. These products are warranted for a period of 10 years for both residential and commercial installations, subject to the terms of the complete Kingspan Kooltherm® warranty document.

Concrete Wall Installation (Clip/Channel System)

1. Install chosen furring channel clips at required spacing for plasterboard lining.
2. Fit Kooltherm over furring channel clips by pushing over the clips to abut the wall, and so that the wings of the clips penetrate the board. Care should be taken to avoid the
   foil facing of the Kooltherm separating from the insulation core by neatly trimming the foil face at the point where the furring channel clip penetrates the insulation.
3. Butt join boards of Kooltherm to provide a continuous insulation layer.
4. Install furring channels by clipping into channel clips. Furring channels should be tight against the face of the Kingspan Kooltherm. Where furring channels are not tight to the insulation contact Kingspan Insulation Technical Service for further advice.
5. Install plasterboard lining.

Taping, Cutting, Packaging, Storage and Handling

It is considered best practice to tape joins of Kingspan Kooltherm boards in this system with 48mm wide reinforced aluminum foil tape. When taping a plastic squeegee or blade must be used to apply appropriate pressure to the tape. Surfaces must be dry and free from dust, oil or grease prior to taping. Cutting should be carried out either by using a fine toothed saw, or by scoring with a sharp knife, snapping the board over a straight edge and then cutting the facing on the other side. Ensure accurate trimming to achieve close-butting joints and continuity of insulation. According to quantity, the boards are supplied in packs, labelled and shrink-wrapped in polythene.
The packaging of Kingspan Kooltherm should not be considered adequate for long term outdoor protection. Ideally boards should be stored inside a building. If, however, outdoor storage cannot be avoided then the boards should be stacked clear of the ground and covered with an opaque polythene sheet or weatherproof tarpaulin. Boards that have been allowed to get wet should not be used.
