Kooltherm K10W is the white faced version of the K10 phenolic soffit board, for concrete soffits and ceilings that stay exposed to view. CodeMark certified for NCC compliance.
The facing is the whole difference
Same phenolic core and the same thermal performance as K10 G2, with a white aluminium foil lower facing instead of a bright reflective one. In a carpark, a plant room or an exposed underside, that finish is what lets the insulation be the final surface rather than something that needs covering. It also lifts the light level in a space with no ceiling.
Thin for the R-value
Thermal conductivity is 0.022 W/m·K at 45 mm and thicker. The range runs 25 mm at R1.10 through to R4.60, all in 2400 x 1200 mm boards. Where headroom is being fought over, phenolic gets you there in less depth than most alternatives.
Fire and certification
NCC Group 2, spread of flame index 0, smoke development 3 or lower, FM 4880 approval for 25 to 119 mm. Fibre-free core, 10 year warranty subject to the full Kooltherm terms.

Fitting notes
Pick this over the standard K10 G2 when the soffit stays in view and you want a clean white ceiling without a separate lining, for example over a car park entry or an undercroft. Set the boards out so joints land on a fixing and butt them tight, since every joint shows on a finished surface. Handle by the edges to keep the white facing unmarked and keep the boards dry on site.
