Safe-R

SR/FB

Safe-R Framing Board is designed for use with steel or timber frame applications up to 18m in height. With a Euroclass C Fire Classification the framing board can be used between studs or as an insulated sheathing board. Using Safe-R Framing Board provides excellent U-Values and improved Thermal Bridging detailing.

Specification Clause

The wall insulation shall be Safe-R SR/FB manufactured to EN 13166 by Unilin Insulation, comprising of a rigid Phenolic core between low emissivity foil facings. The Safe-R SR/FB __mm with Agrément declared Lambda value as low as 0.020W/mK to achieve a U-Value of __W/m2 K for the wall element. To be installed in accordance with instructions issued by Unilin Insulation.

An Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), certified by IGBC is available for this product. Please contact technical support for further details.

Refer to NBS clause H92 776,

Resistance ‘R’ Values

The resistance value of any thickness of Unilin insulation can be ascertained by simply dividing the thickness of the material (in metres) by its Agrément declared Lambda value, for example: Lambda 0.021 W/mK and thickness 80mm -> 0.080/ 0.021 -> R-Value = 3.80. In accordance with EN 13166, R-Values should be rounded down to the nearest 0.05 (m2K/W).

Timber Framed System

Placing a lining of Safe-R Framing Board into the traditional cavity of the construction, and effectively insulating the Thermal Bridging caused by the timber studding drastically improves the insulation value of the walls over the traditional method of insulating between studs only

Steel Framed System

Buildings constructed using a steel framed system are insulated on the outer side of the construction create a ‘Warm Frame’, reducing the risk of condensation.

Note

The low emissivity foil facing on Safe-R Framing Board improves the thermal performance of the wall within an unventilated cavity. The unventilated cavity, or residual cavity, is the most effective method of preventing wind-driven rain penetrating a wall from the outside.
