Why Kingspan Kooltherm

Kooltherm K5 is a phenolic insulation board. It insulates better per millimetre than EPS, so a wall needs less thickness for the same result. That helps where space is tight, for example at windows, doors, side passages and boundaries. EPS and mineral wool are good choices too, and we explain the differences in our guide to EPS and mineral wool.

Read more about how we install it on our external wall insulation page, or see the render choices in our render systems guide.
