With this system, however, customers are not trading performance for the sake of speed. Its PIR aspect offers a lambda value of 0.022 W/mK to help achieve a regulation energy outcome.
Factory-bonded, Eurothane PL can also act as your vapour control layer provided its joints are filled and taped. Such capability once again highlights how this all-round solution hastens productivity for cost-effective installation.

Once in-situ, Eurothane PL boards can be quickly and easily skimmed in preparation for a decorative finish.
