Cellar and Basement Insulation

Our cellar and basement insulation can minimise heat loss to prevent damp in underground spaces.
Choosing the ideal cellar and basement insulation is important for any project

Cellar and basement insulation from Kingspan includes premium peformance phenolic insulation and rigid extruded polystyrene (XPS) insulation boards. Kingspan GreenGuard XPS boards have a high compressive strength and offer minimal water absorption while being resistant to ground moisture penetration.

Kingspan Insulation offer a range of cellar and basement boards that are suitable for the walls and floors in new build and refurbishment projects. They are easy to cut, handle and install compared to some other commonly used insulants and are unaffected by air filtration.

Our cellar and basement insulation benefits are as follows:
  • XPS has a high compressive strength of 300-700 kPa

  • XPS has minimal water absorption and resistant to ground moisture penetration

  • Kooltherm is a premium peformance insulation - allowing U-values to be met with minimal thickness
