THIN-R® SARKING

Product catalog summary
Key Features:
  • High thermal performance with certified thermal conductivity as low as 0.022 W/mK.
  • Robust engineered jointing and low emissivity foil facings.
  • Environmentally friendly with HCFC/CFC free composition and a GWP of less than 5.
  • BRE Green Guide A+ Rated.
Product Description:

Xtratherm Sarking XT/SK is designed for insulating roofs to achieve efficient U-values, supporting zero carbon targets. It creates a 'Warm Roof' by insulating above the roof timbers, reducing thermal bridging and condensation risks.

Specifications:
  • Density: 30 - 32 kg/m3
  • Compressive Strength: 150 kPa @ 10%
  • Service Temperature: -20°C to +100°C
  • Dimensions: Length 2400 mm, Width 1200 mm, Thickness options: 50, 75, 100 mm
Design and Installation:

Using Xtratherm on sloped roofs provides efficient U-values with minimal space intrusion. The system involves placing Xtratherm Sarking Boards over rafters, with additional insulation between rafters and counterbattens. A vapour permeable underlay is recommended.

Installation involves fixing a timber stop rail, laying the boards in a staggered pattern, and sealing gaps with flexible sealant. Counterbattens are fixed through the insulation into the rafters.

Environmental and Safety Standards:
  • Manufactured to EN ISO 13165 standards.
  • Quality Management: EN ISO 9001:2008
  • Environmental Management: EN ISO 14001:2004
  • Health and Safety: BS OHSAS 18001
Storage and Handling:

Store off the ground on a clean, flat surface under cover. Cutting can be done with a sharp knife or fine-toothed saw.

Availability:

Available through builders' merchants and specialist distributors in the UK and Ireland.

Installation Guidelines Slating or tiling is installed in accordance with the relevant clauses of BS 5534 Part 1: 1997. When the roof space is to be used as a living area, the Xtratherm Thin-R boards should be covered with 12.5mm plasterboard. Additional Layers 1 1. A timber stop rail is fixed to the bottom of the rafters A treated timber stop rail, the same thickness as the Xtratherm Sarking Insulation, is fixed to the rafters close to the eaves to provide a firm fixing point for the counter battens. The Xtratherm Sarking boards are laid over the rafters commencing at the stop rail, the Tongued...
