Kooltherm K17 specifications and uses
Kooltherm K17 is an insulated dry lining board built from a rigid thermoset phenolic core bonded to tapered edge gypsum based plasterboard on the face, with a tissue based facing on the reverse. It is fixed with adhesive, which makes it a straightforward internal wall lining for buildings that cannot be insulated on the outside or where the external appearance has to stay as it is. It suits new build and retrofit work on both commercial and residential projects.

K17 sizes and supply
K17 is designed for adhesive bonding and has a tissue-based reverse facing. Kingspan has confirmed that K18 has been discontinued. K17 is made to order with size-specific minimum quantities. The 3000mm 45mm option is price on application and the 2400mm 100mm option requires a supplier minimum of 300m²; contact us for a quote.
Once the fixing method is settled, thickness is the next decision, because the insulation thickness plus 10mm of plasterboard is the depth the lining takes off the room. Length is then matched to the wall height being lined, and the coverage figures above show the square metres each board delivers.
