    DESCRIPTION

    Kingspan Kooltherm K106 Cavity Board 1200 × 450 mm

    The Kingspan Kooltherm K106 cavity board is a premium performance insulation solution designed specifically for full-fill masonry cavity walls. With its rigid phenolic core, foil and fleece facings, this board delivers excellent thermal performance — thermal conductivity typically around 0.019 W/m·K. More info

    Why Choose Kooltherm K106 for Cavity Wall Insulation?

    K106 is designed for modern construction and retrofit projects where space is at a premium and high insulation performance is required. The board achieves very low U-values for cavity wall builds while maintaining a 10 mm residual cavity for moisture control. The foil-faced inner side helps reflect heat back into the building, and the outer fleece facing resists external moisture penetration while allowing vapour diffusion.

    Core & Facing / Technical Highlights

    • Thermal conductivity (λ): 0.019 W/m·K typical.
    • Thickness range: Common sizes include 90 mm and 115 mm (varies by stock).
    • Compressive strength: Typically ≥100 kPa at 10% compression.
    • Facings: Inner low-emissivity foil, outer vapour-open polypropylene fleece.
    • BBA Certification: Certificate No. 16/5299 — for use in masonry cavity walls up to 25m height.

    Application & Suitability

    • Full-fill cavity wall insulation (masonry, new build or retrofit)
    • Projects where minimal build-up thickness is critical
    • Buildings up to 25 m in height (verify fire strategy)
    • Both domestic and light commercial structures

    Performance in Practical Use

    With its low λ-value of 0.019 W/m·K, Kooltherm K106 allows you to meet or exceed required U-values for cavity walls with thinner insulation than many typical boards. The 10 mm residual cavity ensures moisture control behind an unventilated wall build, and the board’s rigidity resists sagging or compression over time — helping maintain thermal performance throughout the life of the building.

    Installation & Handling Considerations

    • Install boards with foil-faced side towards the warm internal face, fleece towards the outer leaf.
    • Maintain the required residual cavity (typically 10 mm) per manufacturer guidance.
    • Ensure mortar droppings are cleared and boards are fixed securely, especially in tall wall builds.
    • Tape vertical joints with 50 mm minimum overlap for airtight performance.
    • Store boards flat, off the ground, protected from prolonged exposure to sunlight or moisture.

    Kingspan Kooltherm K106 — Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What thickness of K106 board should I use for a typical 100 mm cavity wall to meet U-value targets?

    For a standard 100 mm masonry cavity wall, the 90 mm or 115 mm thickness of K106 will often meet required U-values thanks to its ultra-low λ-value of 0.019 W/m·K. Always run a U-value calculation including self-build or retrofit details.

    2. Can the K106 board be used in retrofit projects where the cavity width is narrow?

    Yes — Kooltherm K106 is ideal where space is limited while still delivering high performance. Ensure the cavity is fully filled and the residual air gap maintained.

    3. How many boards are required to cover one square metre for the 1200×450 size?

    Each board covers 0.54 m². To cover 1 m², you’ll need approximately 1.85 boards. Round up and include extra for cutting and waste around openings.

    4. Does Kooltherm K106 act as a vapour barrier in the wall build-up?

    The board has a foil-facing on the warm side and a vapour-open fleece on the outer side. In normal cavity wall builds, an additional vapour control layer is not required.

    5. What fire performance classification does K106 have?

    K106 is classified as Euroclass F (Reaction to fire) under EN 13501-1. Wall build-ups must satisfy the relevant fire regulations.

    6. How does K106 compare with conventional mineral wool or EPS boards?

    Due to its low thermal conductivity (0.019 W/m·K), K106 achieves required U-values with thinner insulation compared with mineral wool or EPS, helping retain internal space.

    7. Is Kooltherm K106 suitable for low-energy and sustainable buildings?

    Yes — the phenolic core has low thermal ageing and supports high-performance builds. Consider overall embodied carbon and façade build-up in sustainability plans.

    Why Use Proctor Wraptite with Kingspan K106 90 mm Insulation

    Enhanced Airtightness and Long-Term Performance

    Using Proctor Wraptite with Kingspan K106 90 mm cavity wall insulation creates a high-performance, airtight, and energy-efficient wall system. Wraptite’s self-adhered vapour-permeable membrane prevents air leakage while allowing moisture vapour to escape — protecting the insulation and structure from condensation. When combined with the exceptional thermal efficiency of K106, this pairing helps achieve low U-values and meet modern building regulations with ease. The result is a durable, comfortable, and energy-smart building envelope that performs consistently across all seasons.
