Celotex 50mm GA4050 2.4m x 1.2m

• Celotex GA4050 is a versatile insulation board with low emissivity foil, offering improved thermal performance in a range of applications including roofs, walls, and floors, with a thickness of 50mm.
• The board contributes to reduced heating/cooling costs due to its superior thermal conductivity and retains efficiency over many years, minimizing energy bills.
• Eco-friendly in construction, Celotex boards are made with a zero ozone depletion blowing agent and have a low global warming potential.

This insulation board has many uses, thanks to its low emissivity foil it can be considered in many applications that require insulating roofs, floors, and walls.

GA 4050 is a general application insulation board available in different thicknesses ranging from 50mm to 100mm.. 

Celotex GA4050 is able to achieve improved thermal insulation performance with minimum thickness whilst offering great thermal conductivity, increasing insulation and reducing possible heating or cooling costs.

Celotex GA4050 can be used to provide thermal insulation solutions in a wide range of applications such as when insulating floors, roofs, walls, flat roofs, pitched roofs, metal frame systems and steel framed systems, floor systems, and even masonry walls. 

Celotex insulation boards are manufactured using a blowing agent that has zero ozone depletion potential and low GWP (global warming potential) making it an eco and green-friendly solution in construction.

Celotex PIR insulation boards are specifically designed to offer the same efficiency over many years which over time helps unnecessary usage of bills on heating and cooling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is 50mm insulation enough?

With 50mm of insulation, you can provide a good level of thermal insulation for most applications. To be sure that 50mm is enough, you should calculate the U-value of the entire structure (not just the board in isolation). It is important to reduce cold spots and thermal bridging to get the best insulation value.

What's the U value of 50mm Celotex?

The U-value for a 2.4m x 1.2m sheet of celotex ga4050 50mm insulation is 0.022 W/m² K

How thick should Celotex be?

As a general rule, choose a general application insulation board that is as thick as you can afford and that space allows. Celotex is available in all sizes from 25mm up to 200mm

What is the difference between Celotex and polystyrene?

Celotex PIR insulation boards are more than just polystyrene. They are made from completely different materials. PIR offers far better insulating performance for the same thickness of board. They are manufactured using a blowing agent that has zero ozone depletion potential and low GWP (global warming potential) making it an eco friendly solution in construction.

Can Celotex be used for sound insulation?

Celotex insulation boards are primarily designed for thermal insulation purposes. However, they can provide a degree of sound insulation as well. For optimal sound insulation, you may want to consider using specialized acoustic insulation products or combining Celotex with other materials specifically designed for soundproofing.

How do I install Celotex GA4050 insulation boards?

To install Celotex GA4050 insulation boards, measure and cut the boards, attach them to the surface, stagger the joints, tape the joints, install a vapor control layer if needed, and finish the installation with the final surface layer. Always follow the manufacturer's guidelines and consult a professional if you are unsure about any aspect of the installation process.

What is the fire performance of Celotex insulation boards?

Celotex GA4050 insulation boards have a Euroclass E Reaction to Fire classification, according to BS EN 13501-1. This classification indicates that the boards have a low contribution to the spread of fire. However, it is crucial to follow local building regulations and fire safety requirements when using Celotex or any other insulation materials.

Can Celotex insulation boards be used for retrofit applications?

Yes, Celotex insulation boards can be used in retrofit applications to improve the thermal performance of existing buildings. Proper installation is critical to ensure optimal insulation performance and avoid potential issues such as thermal bridging or condensation.

Are Celotex insulation boards waterproof?

Celotex insulation boards are not waterproof but are designed to be moisture-resistant. However, prolonged exposure to water or moisture can affect the performance and integrity of the boards. In areas prone to water or moisture exposure, it is essential to provide adequate protection, such as a vapor control layer or waterproofing membrane, to maintain the performance of the insulation boards.

What is the environmental impact of Celotex insulation boards?

Celotex insulation boards are manufactured using a blowing agent with zero ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential (GWP), making them an environmentally friendly option for construction projects. Additionally, the improved thermal performance of Celotex insulation boards can help reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions associated with heating and cooling systems. The Celotex GA4050 insulation board has received an A+ rating in the BRE Green Guide, indicating a low environmental impact.
