Frequently Asked Questions
The manufacturer's Black product page links to the White product's data sheet, which reports R1.103m²·K/W when tested with a 40mm air gap above and a 60mm air gap below. This is a tested arrangement, not the 4mm material alone.
The shared manufacturer data sheet lists a nominal 50m² roll and 46m² effective coverage with a 100mm overlap. Allow separately for cuts and project waste.
