PIR insulation core 120 mm (12 cm), second-grade PW

Not every insulation task needs a finished faced board in a uniform format. Where individual fitting is acceptable, PIR PW can help make better use of the budget. It is a bare sandwich-panel core, offered as second-grade material requiring selection. Its benefit is access to lightweight insulation foam for applications that allow time to assess and prepare the individual pieces.

The bare core’s low weight makes handling, sorting and preparation of infill pieces easier. Individual sections can be fitted into smaller protected areas where a full panel would need many cuts. The foam restricts heat flow without adding much mass to the element being prepared. This can be useful for ancillary work in utility buildings and workshops that needs insulation alone, without the decorative surface of a finished board.

PIR PW becomes more economical when the contractor can use different widths and lengths. Pieces for larger fields can be separated from smaller infill sections. A batch can then supply several suitable tasks rather than leave waste after one project. Reusing available material also supports careful material management in a workshop or farm service area. Tasks whose infill dimensions can be adjusted to the batch are especially relevant. Having a workshop and time for sorting improves the chance of using more of the material, strengthening the case for the purchase.

PIR PW is not equivalent to a certified insulation board with a uniform set of declared properties. The batch therefore needs assessment and sorting before use. Thickness, format and condition determine which pieces are useful. Once prepared, this stock of lightweight material can be allocated to suitable tasks. For a farm with its own workforce and facilities, it offers a way to exchange available time and skills for lower material expenditure.

Without finished facings, purchasing focuses on insulation itself. This can make economic sense for protected infill that needs neither a steel surface nor a decorative finish. Pieces can be cut for prepared spaces, with smaller sections retained for later work. Gradual use of a batch is convenient for a workshop or farm carrying out several minor improvements rather than a single large project.

SteelProfil offers PIR PW alongside a wide range of first- and second-grade insulation materials. Stocked products, promotions and attractive prices allow different purchasing options to be compared. We help check the available batch so you can assess its usefulness and compare material costs with the work you will carry out.
