Reduce Energy Use with CNZ PIR Insulation Boards

CNZ's PIR Insulation boards, proudly made in New Zealand, offer exceptional energy efficiency with some of the thinnest available solutions, delivering high R values that help buildings achieve premium levels of energy efficiency. By utilising PIR Insulation, buildings can significantly reduce energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions. The outstanding insulation performance of PIR is attributed to its low density, cross-linked closed cell structure, and low conductivity. Moreover, its hydrophobic nature prevents moisture absorption, ensuring long-lasting thermal performance and product integrity throughout the lifetime of the building.

CNZ PIR Insulation products are manufactured without the use of ozone-depleting gases, resulting in zero ozone depletion potential (ODP) and low global warming potential (GWP). Furthermore, CNZ holds certifications from Global GreenTag and PHD HealthRate for its insulation boards, demonstrating their commitment to sustainability. These boards are recyclable, containing recycled content and can be reused. In fact, each 100 square metres of CNZ PIR Insulation boards incorporate up to 3,200 recycled plastic bottles, reducing waste and promoting a circular economy. Additionally, the manufacturing process of these boards is water-free, further enhancing their favourable environmental profile.

CNZ PIR Insulation Board is versatile and can be used internally or externally as the insulation product for walls, ceilings, skillion roofs, underfloor, slab edge, insulated precast concrete, exterior insulation finish systems (EIFS), warm roofs, soffits, and anything else that requires thermal performance. It is suitable for use in new buildings, extensions, and renovations, delivering the highest thermal performance with some of the thinnest possible solutions.

The PIR core has a closed cell structure, making it highly resistant to water absorption, and suitable for use in damp environments. The Aluminium Foil Board has a higher vapour resistance due to its foil facing.

CNZ Insulation offer custom profile cut board for a range of applications such as slab edge, tapered board, roof corrugations, pipes, and amenity insulation. Additionally, they can laminate alternate custom surfaces to their board such as plasterboard or plywood. This can speed up the installation on site as well as servicing unique project requirements.

CNZ PIR Insulation Board is primarily used for thermal insulation and will greatly contribute to attaining H1 compliance, as it can be used within a cavity, in a ceiling, between rafters and floor joists, underfloor, as well as on the external envelope. Using CNZ PIR Insulation Board will also assist in increasing the R-values of floor slab insulation. The high R-values provided by CNZ PIR Insulation Board will allow building methods to remain the same without resorting to thicker wall assemblies to achieve compliance to the new H1 regulations.

CNZ PIR Insulation Board has excellent fire protection properties meeting Group 2 and Group 3 ratings. Additionally, it is tested to AS1366.2 and the closed cell structure PIR offers provides an extremely low moisture transmission rate of 10-15 g/m² — 24hr.
