Thermal Properties

Nutec Ceiling Insulation exhibits low thermal conductivity – a measure of a material™s ability to conduct / transfer heat (K-value). Low thermal conductivity is ideal when reduced heat build-up in summer and heat loss in winter is required. Everite Ceiling Insulation K-Value is influenced by the density and thickness of the product. Generally the thicker and more dense the product the better resistance it will have to temperature and sound transmission.

Nutec Ceiling Insulation in its finished form comprises many pockets of cell like fibre structures which contain air. The material’s ability to resist the flow of heat through it (R-Value) is also attributed to stable (dense) non-moving entrapped air. Air is recognised as a poor conductor and presents a perfect insulation barrier. The higher the R-value the better the material’s ability to resist the flow of heat.
