Perimeter Plus

An Innovative System that Creates a Thermal and Acoustic Barrier for Timber Frame Construction.

Knauf Perimeter Plus™ Blow-in-Blanket® System

Homeowners want peace of mind that their home will be comfortable and energyefficient throughout its life. So insulation must be installed to provide maximum thermal and acoustic efficiency, be moisture-free and not settle or deteriorate over time.

Description

Knauf Perimeter Plus Fibre Glass Blowing Insulation is a super high performance, unbonded, virgin glass blowing insulation designed with optimal thermal properties and excellent coverage and blowing characteristics.

Application

Blow-in-Blanket® System (BIBS) is a patented process consisting of a fibre glass loose fill blown in behind a special netting material. Perimeter Plus Blowing Insulation is used in both new and existing structures as a Blow-In-Blanket System for closed cavity applications in which ventilation is not required.

Knauf Insulation has a nationwide network of approved installers

Appearance

Light green product colour provides a clean, professional appearance, and easy identification on the job site to ensure the performance customers require

Thermal Performance

The stated thermal conductivity is provided by installing in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Furthermore this product must be applied with a conventional pneumatic blowing machine. Perimeter Plus has a thermal conductivity of 0.034W/mK.

Vapour Resistance

Perimeter Plus offers negligible resistance to the passage of water vapour and has a vapour resistivity of 7.00 MN.s.g.m.

Environmental Performance

Perimeter Plus conserves energy and therefore assists in reducing demand for fuels for the heating and air-conditioning of buildings. As a result, they reduce the emissions of the major greenhouse gas, CO2. The energy and CO2 emissions saved by the products in use vastly outweigh those generated in their manufacture.
