Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides technical specifications and installation guidelines for Xtratherm FR-BG, a high-performance PIR flat roof insulation product designed for use with bitumen-based partially bonded built-up roofing systems.
Specifications: Xtratherm FR-BG is available in various thicknesses ranging from 50mm to 120mm, with dimensions of 1200mm in length and 600mm in width. It features fleece-finished bitumen/glass fibre facings and is compatible with most bituminous roofing systems. The product is designed to achieve high thermal performance and is CFC/HCFC free, ensuring zero ozone depletion potential.
Fire Performance: When used as part of a three-layer system with mineral chippings on the cap sheet, Xtratherm FR-BG can achieve an FAA rating according to BS476, Part 3: 1988 external fire exposure roof test.
Design and Installation: The insulation is suitable for use with BS747 type 3G perforated base layers and should be installed following BS 8217: 2005 guidelines. Adequate falls (1 in 80) should be designed to prevent water ponding. The product is suitable for roofs with limited maintenance foot traffic, and walkways should be provided for regular access.
Installation Guidelines: The document outlines specific installation procedures for different deck types (metal, concrete, plywood), emphasizing the importance of a vapour control layer and proper bonding techniques. Fixing specifications vary based on location and architectural requirements, with a minimum of four fixings recommended for 1200x600 boards.
Physical Characteristics: The insulation has a foam core density of 32 Kg/m3, compressive strength greater than 150 kPa, and thermal conductivity between 0.025 - 0.027 W/mK. It operates effectively within a service temperature range of -20°C to +100°C.
U-Values: The document provides typical U-values for various thicknesses of FR-BG over concrete decks, ranging from 0.28 W/m2K for 80mm thickness to 0.16 W/m2K for a combined 140mm thickness.
Fire Safety: The document stresses the importance of assessing the suitability of materials and substrates for torch-on applications, with trained personnel required for installation and appropriate fire precautions in place.
Technical Support: Xtratherm offers technical support for designers and builders, with contact available via phone, fax, or email. Full technical literature is accessible on their website.
