Koolfoam Insulated Plasterboard
The Koolfoam KF range is a perfect blend of form and function. It gives specifiers and builders multiple insulation solutions to suit all budgets and spaces.
Koolfoam Insulated Plasterboard
Our products combine GIB plasterboard with either a rigid expanded polystyrene (EPS) or PIR core, and are backed with aluminium foil - providing excellent thermal resistance and outstanding R values.
The KF range is strong and lightweight, and the GIB facing provides a smooth, ready-to-finish interior lining surface. Importantly, all KF products are treated for fire resistance.
Koolfoam KF range
- Rigid EPS core uses a fibre-free, closed-cell structure to provide high-performance insulation
- Can be used for insulation, drylining, and vapour control
- Suitable for interior lining applications
- Resistant to water vapour transmission
- Easy to cut, handle, and install
- Ideal for timber or steel framing, concrete or masonry, and retrofit applications
- Sheet sizes: 2400mm x 1200mm. Custom sizes and thicknesses available upon request.
Koolfoam KF22
Koolfoam KF22 uses our Koolfoam PIR Board and is our highest-performing insulation panel. Made with a polyisocyanurate rigid closed cell foam - and laminated with a low-emissivity aluminum foil - KF22 achieves superior R values and excellent fire resistance.
The PIR core includes a flame retardant that forms a char layer when exposed to fire, to slow flame spread. The PIR is also moisture-resistant and does not react with TPS electrical cabling.
| KF22 thickness (excl 10mm plasterboard) | R value |
|---|---|
| KF22-40 mm | 1.81 |
| KF22-50 mm | 2.27 |
| KF22-100 mm | 4.54 |
All R values are calculated from actual conductivity tests of Koolfoam PIR by an independent approved authority (BRANZ).
Koolfoam KF31
Koolfoam KF31 provides a more cost-effective option. KF31 has a Koolfoam Black Pearl EPS core that's infused with graphite to provide up to 30% greater thermal efficiency than normal EPS.
On top of its ability to deliver high R values within thinner products, the Black Pearl core also has high compressive strength, is easy to handle and is available in various thicknesses.
KF31's Black Pearl EPS core is made from Neopor with a flame retardant that reduces the flammability and spread of flame on the surface of the foam - and is compliant with AS 2122.1-1993.
| KF31 thickness (excl 10mm plasterboard) | R value |
|---|---|
| KF31-50 mm | 1.61 |
| KF31-60 mm | 1.93 |
| KF31-100 mm | 3.22 |
All R values are calculated from actual conductivity tests of Koolfoam EPS and Black Pearl by an independent approved authority (BRANZ).
