Insulation Systems for Walls

KKL 36 is a thermal-acoustical insulation system for walls of residential houses and commercial buildings. The system consists of a "rolled" glasswool panel and metal accessories. The metal accessories are forming a framework to support the finishing elements (plasterboard).

The Rolled Panel

KKL 36 is a semi rigid glasswool panel to be rolled off, on one side faced with a kraft vapor barrier. Packed as a roll, KKL 36 becomes a real panel when it is rolled off. In this way a "rolled" panel is combining the advantage of rolls in storage and the advantages of panels with its rapid installation.

The Advantages of KKL 36

1.The best thermal results: the metal framework disconnects the outside wall from the inside plasterboard. This suppresses the thermal bridges.

2. The best acoustical results: the principle mass-spring-mass increases the accoustical insulation with 10 to 24 dB.

3. A simple and flexible system: (1) with the same elements you can insulate both common and complicated situations, (2) the system has no problems with an irregular surface, (3) electrical cables can pass without problems between the insulation and the plasterboard finishing.

4. The metal frame work can be adjusted in order to achieve a flat surface.

Installation 

Depending on the type of construction site, 2 to 6 m2 per hour.

Working Method

A rail is fixed on the floor and on the ceiling.Metal furring channels are fixed horizontal on the wall.The rolled panel KKL 36 is installed between the furring channels. Insulation is cut as per distance between floor and ceiling increased by 1 cm. Plasterboard length will be as per distance between floor and ceiling minus 1 cm.

Performances

Permeance

Dimensionally stable under varying conditions of temperature and humidity, rot proof, odourless, non-hygroscopic and will not sustain vermin or fungus.
No sagging nor settling so longer life.

Fire Safety

Base fibre are Non-combustible when tested in accordance with BS 476(Part4), ASTM E 84, 136.

Moisture Absorption

Less than 1% by volume when tested in accordance with BS 2972 or 6676, ASTM C 553. KIMMCO Kalining does not absorb moisture from the ambient air nor water by capillary attraction. Only water under pressure can enter the insulation products, but that will quickly dry out owing to the material's open cell structure.

Non Toxic

KIMMCO KALINING 36 is not hazardous to health(See KIMMCO MSDS)
