Kingspan Insulation<\/a> has debuted OPTIM-R next-generation insulation for roof systems. The insulation comprises rigid vacuum insulation panels with a microporous core, which is evacuated, encased and sealed in a thin, gas-tight envelope. The high level of thermal efficiency\u2014up to R-28 on 1 inch and R-57 on 2 inches using calculated edge thermal-resistance properties\u2014combined with minimal thickness, provides a solution for applications where a lack of construction space or depth is an issue.<\/p>\n

Suitable for retrofitting roofing or balcony and terrace systems, OPTIM-R can meet increasingly stringent energy codes without the conflicts of tight egresses and access points, as well as railing and HVAC systems, that thicker, low R-value insulations can run into. It is rated for use in major roofing membrane systems, so this total roofing solution will meet your building projects\u2019 unique needs and requirements.<\/p>\n

In new construction applications, Kingspan OPTIM-R can significantly enhance R-values\/U-values in areas that would otherwise be accepted as diminishing the overall thermal performance of the roof.<\/p>\n

Kingspan OPTIM-R can be used in a number of different applications and is available in a range of systems:<\/p>\n
