Celotex PIR Cavity Wall Insulation 50mm x 450mm x 1.2m
The Celotex CW4000 PIR Insulation Board is a high-performance, rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation board developed specifically for use in partial-fill cavity wall applications. With a thickness of 50mm and a narrow width of 450mm, these boards are sized for easy installation between standard wall ties in traditional masonry cavity walls.
Faced with a low emissivity aluminium composite foil on both sides, the boards achieve excellent thermal performance with a lambda value of 0.022 W/m·K, helping reduce heat loss and meet Part L of the Building Regulations.
Key Features:
-
Purpose-Built for Cavity Walls
Slim 450mm width ensures a snug fit between wall ties for quick and effective installation. -
Superior Thermal Performance
Outstanding thermal conductivity of 0.022 W/m·K, helping to meet and exceed U-value targets in compliance with UK regulations. -
Foil-Faced on Both Sides
Low emissivity foil layers enhance thermal resistance when used with unventilated cavities, improving the overall insulation performance of the wall. -
Straight Edge Profile
Ensures tight joints and reduced thermal bridging in cavity wall construction. -
BBA Certified
Independently assessed and certified under BBA Certificate 24/7312, assuring performance, durability, and compliance. -
Lightweight & Easy to Handle
Makes transportation and on-site installation faster and more efficient without compromising structural performance.

Typical Applications:
The Celotex CW4000 series is specifically designed for use in:
- Masonry cavity walls in both new build and refurbishment projects
- Partial-fill cavity wall applications where moisture management and insulation are critical
- Residential, commercial, and industrial buildings where high thermal performance is required
Installation Guidelines:
- Boards should be installed in a staggered pattern, with tight butt joints to reduce thermal bridging.
- Ensure wall ties are placed correctly and insulation retaining clips are used where required.
- Leave a residual air cavity (typically 25mm) between the inner face of the outer leaf and the board surface.
- Handle with care to avoid damaging foil facings. Cut with a handsaw or utility knife.
Always follow the latest Celotex CW4000 installation guide and relevant national building regulations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):
Q: What makes Celotex CW4000 suitable for cavity walls?
A: Its narrow 450mm width allows it to slot neatly between wall ties in masonry cavities, and its low emissivity foil facing enhances thermal performance in unventilated air spaces.
Q: Does the product resist moisture?
A: Yes. The PIR foam core has a closed-cell structure that limits water absorption. It is suitable for partial-fill cavities when installed with proper detailing.
Q: Can it be used in full-fill cavity wall applications?
A: No. CW4000 is specifically designed for partial-fill applications and should not be used in full-fill cavity wall systems.
Q: Is the product environmentally friendly?
A: Yes. Celotex PIR boards are manufactured without CFCs or HCFCs and have a low Global Warming Potential (GWP) and zero Ozone Depletion Potential (ODP).
Q: What is the expected lifespan of this insulation?
A: When correctly installed, it is durable and will remain effective for the life of the building.
