termPIR® MAX 19 AL
Product characteristics — termPIR® MAX 19 AL
termPIR® MAX 19 AL is an insulation board with a PIR core with a record-low declared thermal conductivity of λD = 0.019 W/(m·K) — the best thermal insulation class in the entire termPIR® range and one of the lowest values available in the construction insulation market. Protected on both sides by gas-tight Al+paper+PE facing. Dedicated to buildings where partition thickness is constrained and energy requirements are high: passive houses, low-energy buildings, renovations with enhanced energy standards.
At 100 mm the MAX 19 core achieves R = 5.45 m²K/W, at 160 mm R = 8.70 m²K/W — results unattainable with standard PIR boards at λ = 0.022.
Applications
- Pitched roofs — over-rafter and under-rafter; smaller insulation thickness for the same R than AL
- Flat roofs, terraces — mechanical fixing; meeting WT 2021 energy requirements at reduced layer thickness
- External walls — triple-layer construction (cavity wall); space saving in the element
- Basement and foundation walls — vapour-barrier Al/PE facing
- Intermediate floor slabs — high R-value at minimum panel thickness
- Floor on ground — high compressive strength
- Passive and low-energy buildings — meeting energy requirements without increasing the building envelope
Technical note: the gas-tight Al/PE facing is not suitable for the ETICS system (dedicated product termPIR® ETX) nor for washable suspended ceilings (dedicated product termPIR® AGRO AL CEIL).
Benefits for designers and contractors
- λD 0.019 — ~15% better than standard AL — same thermal resistance at ~15% less thickness
- R = 5.45 m²K/W already at 100 mm — meeting roof energy regulations without going to 120 mm or thicker
- Gas-tight Al/PE facing — built-in vapour barrier
- Keymark + EPD Type III + LEED & BREEAM — full documentation for green projects
- 3 edge profiles — FIT, LAP, TAG for various fixing methods
- Thickness range 80–220 mm — for applications requiring thicker insulation
