LicataTherm K5 EWI System

K5 insulation is a high-performance insulation material known for its excellent thermal efficiency, lightweight nature, and ease of handling. It has become a preferred choice for external wall insulation due to its superior insulating properties and cost-effectiveness. But before we go any further, let’s answer a fundamental question: what is K5 insulation?

K5 insulation is a type of phenolic foam board, engineered for maximum thermal performance with minimal thickness. It features a closed-cell structure, giving it one of the lowest thermal conductivity values among insulation materials. This makes it ideal for projects where space is limited but high energy efficiency is required.

At Licata, we incorporate K5 insulation into our LicataTherm K5 EWI System to provide superior building performance. However, its benefits extend beyond just external wall insulation. K5 insulation is also:

• Used in cavity wall insulation to improve thermal efficiency.
• Applied in roofing systems to enhance energy retention.
• Installed in floors and ceilings to reduce heat loss.
• Utilised in industrial and commercial buildings for high-performance insulation.
• Preferred for retrofit projects where space constraints require thin yet effective insulation.

With its exceptional thermal properties, fire compliance, and ease of installation, K5 insulation is a smart choice for modern construction and refurbishment projects.
