PIR PW rigid insulation foam — 100 mm core, second grade

Utility-building work sometimes involves areas that need many shorter pieces of insulation. Affordable material and the ability to prepare it on site can then matter. PIR PW is the bare insulation core from sandwich panels, offered as second-grade material. SteelProfil can help assess an available batch against work planned in this way.

PIR PW is intended for buyers who allow for sorting, cutting and fitting insulation. Mixed batches can vary in size and surface condition. They are therefore most useful for tasks planned around the actual material. Before buying, establish the pieces required and the space available for a protective layer.

This core lacks the final surface finish found on a complete faced insulation board. Its role is to contribute to insulation within a properly designed assembly. It can be considered as infill where the proposed solution allows it, after checking the condition and suitability of the pieces. The bare material then has a defined task and the buyer can plan its use deliberately.

The clearest economic benefit arises where large boards would need many cuts anyway. Shorter pieces can be matched to drawn infill fields, choosing sections that fit the available space. Continuous insulation, core condition and suitable protection remain important. A well-prepared cutting plan helps limit unusable leftovers.

PIR PW is worth considering for selected utility and ancillary work for which this material has been assessed. It suits contractors able to plan the layers and prepare surfaces for subsequent construction. The purchase is not a finished façade: it is an opportunity to use an insulation core where this form of material meets the project’s needs.

SteelProfil’s wider range includes first- and second-grade insulation and panels, while PIR PW itself is a second-grade core. Selected batches are available from stock. Promotions and favourable prices allow comparison with finished boards. Include the time needed for sorting, preparation and later protection of the pieces in that comparison.

During inspection, focus on usable piece sizes, thickness and material condition. These help estimate the area that can actually be used. We can explain the available batch and assess whether its characteristics match your plan. If a regular surface with a specified facing is needed, we can compare other products from the range.

PIR PW is particularly interesting when you have a specific plan for using the bare core. Prepare a sketch of the infill fields and state the required insulation thickness. This makes batch selection and cutting easier to plan. Effective use of the material can leave more of the budget for other parts of the refurbishment.
