What is PIR insulation?

PIR or Polyisocyanurate insulation is a foam insulation which can be used in many  applications including walls, floors and roofs. Unilin Insulation offer a PIR Insulation  range called Thin-R, with a certified thermal conductivity as low as 0.022 W/mK.  Thin-R is also available with engineered jointing to provide improved continuity and thermal bridging performance. 

PU is the collective name for both polyurethane (PUR) and polyisocyanurate (PIR).  Although PUR was a popular insulation option, PIR is considered an upgrade to  PUR. PU solutions are characterised by their fine closed-cell foam structures. The fine microstructure forms a strong insulating barrier, which greatly impedes the conduction of heat (and cold) and is an efficient insulation choice.
