Our Expert Says:

60mm is one of Recticel Eurothane® GP's most widely specified thicknesses, and a go-to for framed walls, whether fixed between studs or run over them as insulated sheathing. It works just as well between joists, under a screed and between rafters, giving a thermal resistance of around 2.70 m²K/W from the 0.022 W/mK core. A compressive strength of at least 140 kPa keeps it solid in floor build-ups, while the foil facings hold moisture vapour resistance high. Square-edged and quick to cut, it's a dependable all-rounder across new build and refurbishment. Click for our full review

Product Description

60mm Recticel Eurothane GP is among the most widely used thicknesses in the range, valued for the balance it strikes between thermal performance and board depth. Built from a rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) core with gas-tight foil facings, it suits pitched roofs, timber and metal framed walls, ceilings and floors, and is a common choice as insulated sheathing on framed-wall builds.

Each 2400mm x 1200mm board covers 2.88m² and combines a 0.022 W/mK thermal conductivity with a thermal resistance of around 2.70 m²K/W. Sitting in the range's higher strength tier, it carries a compressive strength of at least 140 kPa, so it copes with the loadings in screeded and boarded floors as readily as it performs in walls and roofs.

The low-emissivity foil on both faces gives high resistance to moisture vapour, so the board keeps its thermal performance rather than absorbing water and sagging over time. Square edges let boards butt up tightly across the build, and with joints taped or filled as specified, the insulation layer stays continuous and thermal bridging is minimised.

In framed walls it can be fitted between studs or over them as insulated sheathing; elsewhere it goes between and over joists, beneath screeds, and between rafters in pitched roofs. It is compatible with both wet and electric underfloor heating. Install it to the current Recticel technical guidance, the relevant specification guide and the project specification. Light and easy to score and cut with a sharp knife or fine-toothed saw, it keeps fitting quick on site.

Key Benefits of 60mm Recticel Eurothane GP:

  • One of the most widely specified thicknesses, used in framed walls between or over studs, plus floors, ceilings and pitched roofs.
  • 0.022 W/mK thermal conductivity, giving around 2.70 m²K/W of thermal resistance from a single 60mm layer.
  • Compressive strength of at least 140 kPa for screeded and boarded floor build-ups.
  • Suitable as insulated sheathing on timber and metal framed walls.
  • Gas-tight foil facings on both sides for high moisture vapour resistance and lasting performance.
  • Compatible with wet and electric underfloor heating.
  • Square edges for tight butt-jointing and reduced thermal bridging.
  • Light to handle and easy to cut to size on site.
  • Resists moisture, so it will not sag or lose thermal performance over time.
  • Blown with zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP) and low Global Warming Potential (GWP) agents, free from CFCs and HCFCs.
  • Reaction to fire classified Euroclass F to BS EN 13501-1.

Good to know:

A versatile, widely-specified 60mm board that performs across walls, floors and roofs alike, Recticel Eurothane GP keeps specification straightforward while supporting better energy efficiency and a more comfortable building.

Product FAQs

Can 60mm Recticel Eurothane GP be used for both new build and renovation?

Yes. It is suited to new build and refurbishment alike, across pitched roofs, framed walls, ceilings and floors. Check the right thickness for your target U-value against the project specification before ordering.

What is the compressive strength of 60mm Recticel Eurothane GP?

The 60mm board has a compressive strength of at least 140 kPa, which is why it is widely used in floor build-ups as well as walls and roofs. Always confirm the loadings for your specific floor construction in the project specification.

Can I wallpaper directly onto 60mm Recticel Eurothane GP?

No. The board is not a finish surface. Once the boards are fixed, install plasterboard over them, then skim and let it dry before decorating, so you have a sound surface to paper onto.

Can 60mm Recticel Eurothane GP be used with underfloor heating?

Yes. Eurothane GP is compatible with both wet and electric underfloor heating systems. Follow Recticel's floor specification guide and your project specification for the correct build-up and any vapour control requirements.

Thermal Performance

Thermal performance helps show how effectively the product reduces heat transfer.

Thermal conductivity measures how readily heat passes through the material, so lower figures generally indicate better insulating performance.

R Value shows the material’s thermal resistance at that thickness, so higher figures generally mean stronger insulation performance.

These figures relate to the insulation product itself and should be considered alongside the full wall, roof or floor build-up when checking project requirements.

Thermal Conductivity:
0.022 W/mK
R Value:
2.7 m²K/W
Physical Properties

Compressive strength shows how well a product resists being squashed under pressure.

The figure is measured in kPa, which stands for kilopascals.

A higher kPa number means stronger resistance to compression. For example, 120 kPa offers more compression resistance than 70 kPa, but less than 150 kPa, 200 kPa or 300 kPa.

This does not mean the product can carry that load on its own. It should always be checked as part of the full floor, wall, roof or system build-up.

Compressive Strength:
140 kPa
Fire Performance

Euroclass reaction to fire is the European EN 13501-1 classification used to show how a construction product behaves when exposed to fire.

The main scale runs from A1 and A2 at the highest end, through B, C, D and E, down to F.

A1 is non-combustible and A2 is limited combustibility, while lower classes indicate a greater contribution to fire.

Euroclass F is the lowest rating on this scale and indicates the weakest reaction-to-fire performance.

This is different from fire resistance, which relates to how long a complete wall, floor or roof build-up can resist fire.

Reaction to Fire:
Euroclass F
