PIR insulation boards have excellent thermal properties, but when compared to phenolic boards such as the Kooltherm range, they far exceed the performance of PIR boards. Out of the most rigid thermoset insulation materials you can choose from, you won’t find anything more thermally efficient than phenolic insulation boards. Some of the key differences include:
| PIR Insulation | Phenolic Insulation |
| PIR insulation is composed of polysiocyanurate foam. This has excellent thermal properties and is known for its ability to reduce heat transfer. | Phenolic insulation is made from phenolic foam. This foam offers exceptional thermal performance and is renowned for its closed-cell content and fine-cell structure. |
| PIR insulation requires a longer curing process during the manufacturing stage. This extended curing period can impact project timelines. | Phenolic insulation achieves exceptional thermal efficiency without the need for an extended curing period, making it a more time-efficient choice. |
| PIR insulation performs well in providing insulation and energy efficiency for various applications. | Phenolic insulation is renowned for its outstanding thermal efficiency, making it the preferred choice for applications where top-tier insulation is essential. |
At Workplace Interior Shop, we supply a wide range of both PIR and phenolic insulation boards to ensure your space is properly insulation. To discuss the best product for your building, don’t hesitate to ask our experts.
