Cavity Wall 360
BIO-enhanced PIR Insulation. An engineered system providing added resilience against increases in wind driven rain resulting from climate change.
CavityWall 360
ECO/CW
Cavity Wall 360 is a bio-enhanced partial fill wall insulation system. The system incorporates robust facings, engineered jointing details, preformed corners and has a Lambda of 0.020 W/mK
Cavity Wall 360 is an environmentally sound choice for Passive and low energy builds. It can achieve a Passive U-Value of 0.15 W/m2K in a traditional cavity wall. When building with Cavity Wall 360 a residual cavity is maintained, offering excellent protection against wind-driven rain

Specification Clause
The partial fill cavity wall insulation shall be ECO/CW cavity wall manufactured to EN 13165 by Unilin Insulation, comprising a rigid modified Polyisocyanurate (PIR) core with textured robust low emissivity foil facings and engineered shiplap jointing. The ECO/CW cavity wall _ _ mm with a declared Lambda value of 0.020 W/mK to achieve a U-Value of _ _W/m2K for the wall element. To be installed in accordance with instructions issued by Unilin Insulation
Refer to NBS clause F30 155, F30 12.
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 0.020 W/mK and thickness 100mm -> 0.100/ 0.020 -> R-Value = 5.0. In accordance with EN 13165, R-Values should be rounded down to the nearest 0.05 (m2K/W).
1. Cavity Wall 360 System includes an optional preformed corner panel that folds to 90 degrees to effectively insulate a junction that is normally vulnerable to Thermal Bridging and cold spots.
2. Engineered jointing offers a practical on-site solution that results in a more robust continuous layer of insulation, minimising the threat of Thermal Bridging and improving the overall U-Value of the wall.
3. The textured robust low emissivity foil facing on Cavity Wall 360 improves the thermal performance of the wall. The residual cavity is the most effective method of preventing wind-driven rain penetrating a wall from the outside. A residual cavity is the air space that remains when Cavity Wall 360 is placed against the inner leaf of the cavity of a wall.
Note: The recommended residual cavity width required is 40mm in accordance with Irish Building Regulations. A 50mm residual cavity is typically required in Northern Ireland.
