Kingspan Kooltherm Cavity Closer is designed specifically to help minimize thermal bridging and maintain a continuous insulated barrier around window and door openings.
Meeting the demands of modern construction requires something more than cobbled together methods of closing cavities around door and window openings. New Kooltherm Cavity Closer from Kingspan Insulation has been specifically developed to meet those demands simply and effectively, offering a unique combination of high levels of thermal efficiency with tested fire performance.
As buildings become more highly insulated, thermal bridging has a greater impact on heat loss and carbon dioxide emissions, and will be a significant factor in achieving compliance with the requirements of ADL1A 2010. Designed to maintain a continuous insulated barrier around window and door openings, Kingspan Kooltherm Cavity Closer has a rigid thermoset insulation core with an exceptionally low lambda value of 0.022 W/m.K, providing far better psi values than any other cavity closer in the same construction.
Another important attribute is fire performance; Kooltherm Cavity Closer has achieved over 47 minutes integrity and 41 minutes insulation with a PVC window in a UKAS accredited fire resistance test in line with BS 476 Part 20: 1987.
