Spacetherm P

Product catalog summary

Overview
Spacetherm® P is a high-performance laminate designed for fixing to timber straps, combining Spacetherm® aerogel insulation with plasterboard. It is ideal for applications requiring low U-values in limited spaces, offering similar performance to traditional laminates but with reduced thickness.

Key Features

Thin insulation system for challenging walls.
Superior thermal performance.
Minimal room space loss.
Long-term thermal performance (50+ years).
Integrated vapour control layer.
Non-hazardous material.

Installation
Spacetherm® P should be fixed to timber straps with DPC backing. Fixings should not exceed 500mm centers. Drilling is discouraged but may be necessary for wiring; care should be taken to compress the panel to avoid insulation fibers wrapping around the drill bit.

Internal & External Angles
Panels should be cut to allow jointing of plasterboard and continuous insulation to existing walls. Refer to the Installation Guide for details.

Partition Walls
For partitions abutting external walls with Spacetherm® P, the insulation should ideally return onto the partition or stop at the junction.

Reveals
Spacetherm® WRB is designed for fixing to solid walls, consisting of aerogel insulation bonded to plasterboard or fermacell. Reveals at windows and doors should be treated similarly to internal and external angles.

Floor & Ceiling Details
Remove skirting boards before installation and reapply with adhesive. Panels should be cut close to the ceiling, with gaps filled using PU Foam or plaster filler.

Taping & Filling Joints
Before decoration, panels should be cleaned, taped, and filled. A skim coat may be applied based on the desired finish.

Cutting
Use a jigsaw or circular saw for cutting. Care should be taken to avoid damaging insulation layers. Cut-outs for sockets and switches should be made before fixing the boards.

Health & Safety
Handling and cutting may cause skin drying; gloves and dust masks are recommended. Ensure good ventilation and use appropriate personal protection equipment.

Physical Properties

Panel sizes: 2400 x 1200mm
Plasterboard thickness: 9.5mm
Aerogel thickness: 5, 10, 15mm
Vapour Control Layer: 58.5 MNs/g
K-Factor Plasterboard: 0.190W/mK
K-Factor Aerogel: 0.015W/mK

THERMAL SOLUTIONS OVERVIEW Spacetherm® P (plasterboard) is a high performance laminate specifically designed to be fixed to timber straps. Spacetherm® P consists of Spacetherm® aerogel insulation blanket bonded to plasterboard, for use in applications where low U-values are required with limited space. Spacetherm® P lining boards can achieve similar performance to traditional plasterboard laminates, but at a fraction of the thickness, allowing specifiers greater flexibility and higher performance for refurbishment projects. Thin insulation system for hard to treat walls. The best thermal performance available. Minimum loss of room space. Constant long term thermal performance 50 years+. Includes an integrated vapour control layer. Non-hazardous material. Image showing Spacetherm® P applied internally to an existing external wall structure. INSTALLATION Spacetherm® P should be fixed to timber straps with a DPC backing, also available from A. Proctor Group. Fixings should be at no more than 500mm centres. Although drilling is not recommended it may be required for wiring and services. When drilling, care should be taken to compress the panel as much as possible to reduce the risk of insulation fibres wrapping around the drill bit. INTERNAL & EXTERNAL ANGLES Image showing Spacetherm® P components, plasterboard bonded to Aerogel insulation blanket Spacetherm® panels should be cut in such a way as to allow for the jointing of the plasterboard and an unbroken run of insulation to the existing wall in both internal & external angles. Refer to Installation Guide for further details. PARTITION WALLS Where an internal partition abutts an external wall with Spacetherm® P lining, ideally Spacetherm® P should be returned onto the partition or alternatively stopped at the junction.

THERMAL SOLUTIONS REVEALS Spacetherm® WRB (window reveal board) is a high performance laminate specifically designed to be fixed or glued to the existing solid wall. Spacetherm® WRB consists of Spacetherm® aerogel insulation blanket bonded to plasterboard or fermacell with or without plywood reinforcement. For use in applications where low U-values are required with limited space. Any reveals such as those which may occur at windows, doors etc, should be treated in the same manner as the internal and external angles mentioned above. Refer to Installation Guide for further details. FLOOR & CEILING...
