Provides template for wall ties placement
Ensures continuity of insulation
Suitable for door, window, eaves openings
Suitable for use at expansion joints
Phenolic Insulation works by reducing the transfer of heat through a building’s wall, roof, floors and other structural components.
The lower the thermal conductivity in the phenolic insulation, the higher its insulating capacity.
Heat conduction and lambda value

As it has a low thermal conductivity it is difficult for heat to pass through it, which makes it is such a good insulator.
R-Value

A low lambda value (Thermal conductivity) results in a high R-value or thermal resistance, a measure by which we assess specific insulation products in relation to their insulation thickness. This thermal resistance quantifies the area and temperature difference needed to transfer 1W of heat energy. The higher the R- value, the lower the amount of heat loss.
The low lambda value of Phenolic means that anyone working with the product can insulate a building comfortably thanks to its thickness while optimising the energy performance. With Phenolic, you can make the most efficient use of the space available to you. Since you need less insulation material overall, this is the definition of a smart investment.
Unilin Close-R fully insulated cavity closers are a solution for builders and specifiers for the closing of cavities around window and door openings, preventing cold bridging, damp penetration, air infiltration and condensation.


The Safe-R Close-R range is used to close cavities and is suited to all types of windows and doors and is available in sizes to fit cavity widths from 100mm – 150mm.
High‑performance PIR or phenolic insulation can be used to create an insulated system with low thermal conductivity, delivering excellent thermal performance and effective detailing
The Safe R Close R range is manufactured using phenolic insulation and stone wool. The phenolic foam is a rigid, lightweight material made from phenolic resin with a closed cell structure. The stone wool provides a compressible layer that allows wall ties to be embedded and ensures a seamless fit with the selected wall insulation system.
