Tekwarm HP+ Insulated Plasterboard

Elevate Your Insulation Standards with Tekwarm HP+

Tekwarm HP+ Insulated Plasterboard blends High Performance Plus (HP+) EPS E grade grey polystyrene with premium 12.5mm thick tapered edge plasterboard.

The High Performance Plus insulation is an excellent insulating medium which exhibits consistent thermal performance over the range of temperatures normally encountered in buildings. The grey colour is due to the carbon additive which acts within the boards to disperse and reflect heat radiation. This creates a more thermally efficient insulant to achieve lower U-values with a thinner board, giving the boards an improvement in thermal performance compared to white EPS.

Why Tekwarm HP+?

• Superior Thermal Efficiency: Offering a thermal conductivity of 0.030 W/mK, Tekwarm HP+ ensures your spaces are insulated to the highest standards.

• Versatile Application: Ideal for a wide array of construction projects, thanks to its compatibility with both adhesive and mechanical fixing methods.

• Eco-Friendly Choice: With zero ODP and a GWP of less than 5, Tekwarm HP+ is designed with the planet in mind.

• Streamlined Construction: The dual-purpose nature of this product allows for significant time savings during the insulation and dry lining processes.

The Benefits of Using Insulated Plasterboard

Insulated plasterboard combines insulation and plasterboard into one efficient product, offering distinct advantages over separate installation:

1. Superior Energy Efficiency: The integrated insulation in insulated plasterboard minimizes thermal bridges, significantly improving a building's heat retention. This enhanced thermal efficiency is crucial for reducing energy consumption and heating costs, leading to a more sustainable and cost-effective living environment.

2. Space-Saving Design: Its composite structure saves valuable space, enabling thinner wall constructions without sacrificing insulation performance, which is particularly beneficial in renovations and small spaces.

3. Installation Efficiency: The all-in-one product streamlines the installation process, saving time and labor costs compared to fitting insulation and plasterboard separately.

4. Cost-Effectiveness: Initial costs are often offset by lower installation expenses and substantial long-term savings in energy bills due to the product's superior thermal efficiency.

5. Enhanced Building Performance: In addition to energy savings, insulated plasterboard can improve moisture management and sound insulation, enhancing indoor comfort.

6. Flexibility in Thermal and Acoustic Comfort: When installing onto a stud wall, there's an opportunity to add extra insulation between the studs, boosting both thermal and acoustic performance. This additional layer can significantly enhance a building's energy efficiency and provide a quieter, more comfortable indoor environment. Whether aiming for higher thermal resistance (R-value) to keep heat in during winter and out during summer or seeking to minimise noise transmission between rooms, this added insulation maximises the wall’s performance.

In essence, insulated plasterboard not only simplifies the construction process but also provides a versatile and effective way to enhance a building's thermal and acoustic comfort. This makes it an ideal choice for those looking to improve energy efficiency and indoor living conditions.
