Quinn Therm consists of a core of PIR foam bonded on both faces to composite aluminium facings; the gas filled cells give Quinn Therm its high thermal performance and strength.
Unit Value Adding an insulation to the inner face mm of a masonry wall is a straightforward 1200x2400 cost-effective way of improving mm and 17-80 the thermal performance. Using an 3 laminate 26 - 32 kg/minsulation/plasterboard makes the process more efficient by m2 allowing the insulation and 2.88 surface finish to be installed in one Taper operation.Edge Because the addition of insulation and
