IKO enertherm ALU TG

Step-by-step plan

1. Do not use IKO enertherm boards directly on wooden purlins.
2. Always install a vapour barrier (e.g. PE membrane) between the support structure (in wood or concrete) and the insulation boards. Ensure an overlap of 15 cm.
3. Always start in the corner furthest from the opening (loft opening or door). Install the insulation boards row by row.
4. Use the leftover piece as the first piece to start the second row. Always make sure that the joints are staggered by at least 30 cm.
5. INSUFFICIENTLY STRAIGHT WALL OR SPACE REQUIRED FOR CABLING: you must install a wooden slatted structure first (timber section min. 30 x 45 mm and centre-to-centre distance of 40 cm). Secure the IKO enertherm boards to the structure mechanically with distribution discs and screws.
6. CAVITY WALL INSULATION: you can use IKO enertherm boards for cavity wall insulation. The boards are secured mechanically. Build the inner brick wall first and remove all mortar remnants. Install the boards with the tongue facing upwards. Use at least 4 cavity anchors per board and fasten them 15 cm from the corners of the boards. Make sure the cavity anchor slopes slightly towards the direction of the outer wall. This prevents any moisture from running back into the inner wall. The IKO enertherm boards should be staggered to the maximum extent. They are anchored through the entire thickness of the insulation and into the inner wall. Leave an optimal air cavity of 2 to 3 cm between the insulation and the exterior wall. Tape the seams with ISO TAPE. This ensures even better windproofing.
