Technical Details

Everything you need to know about PIR Panel to feel totally assured that you are investing wisely.

What do we use on the roof?

Polyisocyanurate (PIR) is a rigid polyurethane foam that can be used to manufacture flat or profiled panels. PIR is suitable for applications where lightweight, insulated, and fire-resistant panels are required. The PIR core is manufactured by mixing two chemical streams with appropriate catalysts and a blowing agent, pentane. Pentane has no ozone depleting potential, making PIR insulation an environmentally-conscious solution for roof and wall panelling.

What is PIR Panel?

PIR Panel is a fully insulated stressed skin sandwich panel comprised of pre-painted galvanised steel skins continuously laminated over a fire retardant PIR insulated core. The skins are available in a large range of colours and finishes, providing the perfect colour match to standard New Zealand Coloursteel and more architectural paint coatings such as woodgrain and Corten Steel.

Aspirespan and Aspire Panel (PIR) are designed for building warmer and drier homes. Their high R-values (thermal resistance) ensure exceptional thermal performance and energy efficiency, keeping you warm in New Zealand’s climate and temperature ranges. These panels are produced locally in NZ, meaning we can source and install them much quicker.

The composite sandwich panel construction also maintains insulation values, which aids in preventing condensation. The panels are available in a range of thicknesses, as well as three different finishes for the internal face.

Durable and aesthetically attractive, PIR insulation for roofs, walls and floors can deliver high thermal resistance, mechanical resistance and dimensional stability.
