Product Description

Like other insulation in Kingspan’s Kooltherm range, the K118 sets the bar for high performance thermal conductivity with just 0.018 W/mK. A quick and easy to install alternative to traditional plastering, this plasterboard also protects from damp and rot, being resistant to the passage of water vapour. As with other products in the range the K118 is incredibly safe and durable, able to function effectively for an indefinite amount of time if installed correctly.

Common Questions About Kingspan Kooltherm K118

How Do I Install This Insulated Plasterboard?

The K118 is insulated plasterboard for mechanically fixed and adhesively bonded insulated dry lining, for advice on installation refer to Kingspan’s product brochure above. When cutting the plasterboard to size it is important to remember to use a fine-toothed saw. The board can also be cut by scoring with a sharp knife, snapping the board over a straight edge, and then cutting the facing on the other side. If you are looking for other forms of insulation for your project, the Kooltherm range also offers insulation solutions for roofs and floors.

What is This Insulated Plasterboard Made From?

The front facing of the K118 is an A2 euroclass tapered edge gypsum-based plasterboard specially produced to accept dry-jointing materials and plaster skim. The reverse facing is a low emissivity composite foil which is autohesively bonded to a rigid thermoset fibre-free phenolic insulant core manufactured with a blowing agent that has zero OPD (Ozone Depletion Potential) and low GWP (Global Warming Potential). What this means is that this plasterboard is highly durable and sustainable with an indefinite lifespan when installed correctly*.

What is Thermal Conductivity?

Thermal conductivity is a term used to define how well a material deals with the transfer of heat, normally measured in watts per meter-kelvin sometimes known as the K-Value. Usually used in association with a materials U-Value (thermal transmittance) which is a more designated term for the thermal performance, the lower the value the better the material is at reducing the transfer of heat. For context, the thermal conductivity of normal brick quoted at a density of 1710kg/m³ will likely be 0.77 W/mK.

What is a U-Value?

A U-Value is a calculation that measures the rate at which heat flows through material. Normally measured in units of W/m²K. Essentially it is a number to identify how well a product keeps heat from escaping. The lower the U-Value the better that product is at reducing the transfer of heat.

Delivery Information

We understand that ordering products online can be daunting, especially when ordering roofing materials. It is for this reason that we make our delivery processes as simple as possible for you. However, there are a few things to know about our delivery processes. These include:

  • When placing an order, you’ll see a breakdown of your delivery charge in your shopping cart. These charges are for the UK mainland only, and additional charges may apply for Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and other regions.

  • Deliveries only take place on working days (Mon - Fri) and do not take place on Bank Holidays. 

  • You’ll find an estimated delivery on the majority of product pages below the 'Add to Basket' button. Whilst we aim to deliver your items within the estimated delivery, it is only an estimate. 

  • You're able to select a preferred delivery date in your shopping basket. Whilst we aim to deliver your items on this date, it is not guaranteed.
  • Orders placed after 12pm, during the weekend, and on a bank holiday will not be processed until the next working day. Please consider this when placing your order as it may impact your delivery date.

  • After you’ve placed your order, you’ll receive an order confirmation by email outlining the details of your order. Please check your order confirmation email and inform us of any mistakes or errors immediately.

  • Shortly after receiving your order confirmation you’ll receive a separate email confirming the planned delivery date.

  • We can only provide a delivery date and are not able to confirm the time delivery will be attempted. Therefore, we ask that somebody is able to accept and sign for your items throughout the started delivery date.

  • If you are unable to accept and sign for an order, it can be left in a safe location in most circumstances. Please email [email protected] if you would like an item to be left without a signature. 

  • Whilst we aim to hold the majority of our products in stock, due to the vast number of products we offer this is not always possible. Because of this we are required to send your items directly from the manufacturer on a small number of occasions, at which point a different delivery charge may apply as standard.  

  • On occasions the items ordered may be shipped from different depots, which could result in seperate deliveries taking place.

If you have more questions about our products or delivery, please contact our team online or by telephone.
