Expertise in insulation 23°C, enabling a thinner layer of insulation in thickness
constrained applications.
Knauf Insulation has over 30 years experience in
insulation manufacture and as a producer of extruded
polystyrenes (XPS) insulation, we are able to provide a
high thermal solution for specialist applications. ClimaFoam XPS Board is supplied with a ship-lap join
down the long sides of each sheet. This is to allow for
easier installation and to minimise gaps.
High compressive strength
ClimaFoam ® XPS Board
Excellent energy efficiency and
insulation performance
ClimaFoam XPS Board is an extruded polystyrene
product. It has a compressive strength of 300 kPa and
is one of the strongest and most reliable insulation
products that is ideal for tough New Zealand climatic
conditions. Able to resist wet conditions, high impact
loads and extreme temperatures, ClimaFoam XPS
Board provides high thermal insulation performance
and can be used in areas where other types of
insulation are not suitable. ClimaFoam XPS Board
has a thermal conductivity rating of 0.028W/mK at
ClimaFoam XPS Board delivers exceptional compressive
strength for industrial and residential floors where
a designer wants to keep the cold out but retain the
strength in the concrete slab. For buildings such as
warehouses and factories, which are being designed
to withstand high loads from large vehicles or
equipment, ClimaFoam XPS Board has proven
long-term performance.
Moisture resistance
The moisture resistance of ClimaFoam XPS Board allows
for it to be exposed to ground water, with negligible
impact on thermal performance. ClimaFoam XPS Board
is also ideal for perimeter slab insulation and under-slab
insulation where water resistance is important.
This document has been produced as a guide for designers to achieve an increased thermal performance in concrete slab construction.
