Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard is a premium performance floor insulation that provides a thermal conductivity of just 0.019 W/mK across all thicknesses.

As part of our Kooltherm 100 range, it provides a top tier of performance for insulation materials with a fibre-free rigid thermoset phenolic core. The product is used to insulate beam and block, concrete and timber floors.

How does it differ from Kingspan TP10/TF70

Kingspan K103 is a premium product. The whole K range or phenolic range produced by Kingspan is an upgrade on the standard PIR foam used in their other boards.We believe that the K range is different in three areas.

1) Thermal Performance. In R value terms TP10 around 7-10% inferior
2) Compressive strength. K103 range being about 7% greater
3) However the K103 has a much lower vapour resistance and hence, unlike the TF70 it requires a DPM ( damp proof membrane).
So even if it is specified to you, what you have to ask is the extra expense justified?

Technical Specifications


The Facings

Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard is faced on both sides with a plain (coated) glass tissue autohesively bonded to the insulation core during manufacture.

The Core

The core of Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard is a premium performance CFC/HCFC–free rigid phenolic insulant of typical density 35 kg/m3.

CFC/HCFC–free

Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard is manufactured without the use of CFCs/HCFCs.

Standard Dimensions 1200mm x 2400mm

Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard is readily available from us in the following standard thickness 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, 75mm, 100mm. The following thicknesses are available upon special order ... 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 70mm, 80mm, and 90mm.

Compressive Strength

The compressive strength of Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard typically exceeds 150 kPa at 10% compression and 125 kPa at 5% when tested to BS EN 826: 1996 (Thermal insulating products for building applications. Determination of compression behaviour).

Water Vapour Resistance

Modified to include board facings, the boards achieve a resistance greater than 15 MNs/g when tested in accordance with BS 4370–2: 1993 (Methods of test for rigid cellular materials. Methods 7 to 9). Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard should always be installed over a separate damp proof membrane (minimum 1200 gauge).

Durability

If correctly applied, Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard has an indefinite life. Its durability depends on the supporting structure and the conditions of its use.

Resistance to Solvents, Fungi & Rodents

The insulation core is resistant to short–term contact with petrol and with most dilute acids, alkalis and mineral oils. However, it is recommended that any spills be cleaned off fully before the boards are installed.

Ensure that safe methods of cleaning are used, as recommended by the suppliers of the spilt liquid. The insulation core is not resistant to some solvent–based adhesive systems, particularly those containing methyl ethyl ketone. Adhesives containing such solvents should not be used in association with this product.

Damaged boards or boards that have been in contact with harsh solvents or acids should not be used. The insulation core and facings used in the manufacture of Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard resist attack by mould and microbial growth, and do not provide any food value to vermin.

Fire Performance

The rigid phenolic insulation core of Kingspan Kooltherm K103 Floorboard will achieve a fire rating of Euroclass C-s2.d-0.

Suspended timber floor insulation

Fixing floppy quilt insulation between floor joists can be difficult. Insulating a suspended timber floor is made easy using Celotex Insulation cut to fit between joists.

The specification of insulation for ground floors is more complex than that for walls or roofs. This is because the mechanisms for heat flow are affected by the ratio of surface area to perimeter.

With a suspended timber floor, there is little choice but to install the insulation between the joists, but the thermal bridges created by the joists have to be considered.

Continuity of the insulation must be ensured by packing the spaces between the external walls and the joists with insulation. The void below an insulated suspended timber floor must be well ventilated. The insulation must be cut to fit tightly between the joists to prevent heat loss.
