Unilin CavityTherm is a high-performance continuous insulation system, designed for full-fill cavity wall applications.
The composite PIR board has a thermal conductivity of 0.021 W/mK and provides built-in protection against wind-driven rain.
Key Features:
- Engineered HIPS facer for rain protection
- Moisture redirected to the outer surface
- Pre-positioned slots for sloping wall ties
- Fully engineered jointing system for continuity
- Bespoke accessories to insulate around services
- Excellent thermal bridging values
- No need for an engineer’s report
- Achieves ultimate U-values and meets building standards
- Typical R-value of 4.52 for the 100mm version
Each pack covers 2.16m² and contains four boards (1200mm x 450mm).
CavityTherm’s unique profiled facing directs moisture away from the insulation and back onto the external leaf, providing extra protection.
The rebated edges allow for tight interlocking, ensuring a continuous, effective insulation layer.
Thermal Conductivity: 0.021 W/m²·K (BS EN 13165:2008)
R-value: 4.52 (100mm version)

Typical Physical Characteristics:
- Density 30 kg/m3
- Compressive Strength >100 kPa @ 10%
- Thermal Conductivity 0.021 W/mk
- Service Temperature -20 degrees C to +100 degrees C
The profile edge of the boards allows wall ties to be positioned sloped down to the outer skin, whilst acting as a template for mortar on the inner skin.
Unilin (previously Xtratherm) CavityTherm has gas tight facings, with one additional face bonded to provide a drainage plane, directing moisture onto the outer leaf.
Unilin (previously Xtratherm) CavityTherm’s specially designed profile maintains a residual channel, protecting the structure.
Installing Unilin (previously Xtratherm) CavityTherm gives U-Values that are indicative of targets set to achieve the higher levels of the Code for Sustainable Homes, but within traditional construction allowing the architect to design low carbon homes and maintain an overall cavity width of 100mm.

Frequently asked questions:
What is CavityTherm?
A PIR core insulation board with a thermal conductivity of 0.021 W/mK.
It features gas-tight facings, a profiled HIPS skin for drainage, and rebated edges for tight interlocking.
What are the benefits?
CavityTherm ensures continuity of insulation, offering excellent U-values that support low-energy building designs without compromise.
What wall ties should be used?
Standard stainless steel wire wall ties are suitable for CavityTherm.
For wider cavities, low-conductivity ties are recommended to reduce thermal bridging.
What thicknesses are available?
Available for 100mm, 125mm, and 150mm cavities, achieving U-values as low as 0.12 W/m²K.
What types of buildings can use CavityTherm?
Suitable for external masonry cavity walls in both domestic and non-domestic buildings, up to 25m high.
What are the accessories for?
Accessories are designed to improve airtightness and thermal bridging.
They include bespoke pieces for insulation around services and ensure continuity in the insulation layer.
What is the ‘Engineered Edge Detail’?
Ensures continuity and compliance with building regulations, reducing the risk of U-value penalties during calculations.
What tape should be used to seal board joins?
Waterproof tape or a self-adhesive jointing strip.
Ensure the surfaces are dry before application.
