How does Phenolic Insulation work?
Phenolic Insulation works by reducing the transfer of heat through a building’s wall, roof, floors and other structural components.
The lower the thermal conductivity in the phenolic insulation, the higher its insulating capacity.
Heat conduction and lambda value
As it has a low thermal conductivity it is difficult for heat to pass through it, which makes it is such a good insulator.
R-Value
A low lambda value (Thermal conductivity) results in a high R-value or thermal resistance, a measure by which we assess specific insulation products in relation to their insulation thickness. This thermal resistance quantifies the area and temperature difference needed to transfer 1W of heat energy. The higher the R- value, the lower the amount of heat loss.
The low lambda value of Phenolic means that anyone working with the product can insulate a building comfortably thanks to its thickness while optimising the energy performance. With Phenolic, you can make the most efficient use of the space available to you. Since you need less insulation material overall, this is the definition of a smart investment.
