Erfurt MAV Insulating Lining Paper Graphite Plus - Professional Quality Wall Lining Paper - 500mm x 7.5m roll

Erfurt MAV Insulating Lining Paper Graphite Plus is combines the natural reflectivity of graphite with polystyrene cells to create an effective energy-saving insulating wallcovering. Approved by the Energy Saving Trust for its thermal efficiency, it is also treated with a fire retardant. Constructed from a 4mm thick layer of BASF expanded polystyrene infused with graphite particles and laminated to a reinforced backing, Graphite+ provides 20% better insulation performance than standard Insulating Lining Paper. This is equivalent to an additional 26cm of concrete on your walls. The graphite particles act like mirrors, reflecting radiant heat back into the room, thus reducing heat loss and energy bills. As a paste-the-wall product, Graphite+ is easy to apply and effectively conceals uneven or defective wall surfaces.

This product is suitable as a localised ‘problem solver’ for cold external walls and is not recommended for use in fire escape routes within your home unless the surface is treated with a fire retardant covering. It is classed as E fire rated and should not be used for projects such as new builds and extensions where building regulations apply.

CHARACTERISTICS

• Laminated polystyrene with graphite components to enhance heat-saving properties.
• Graphite components increase material stability and strength.
• Resists damp and mould formation on problem walls.
• Twice as thick as regular polystyrene wall veneers.
• Provides quick and effective insulation of interior walls.
• Supplied ready laminated to a reinforced liner.
• Reduces external noise pollution.
• CFC free.
• Fire rated.

INSTALLATION

• Ensure that base surfaces are clean, dry, firm and free from any loose or flaking material.
• Apply the adhesive generously to the wall using a roller:
  • As a guide, recommend up to 2.5kg of paste per roll.
  • Use more if the base surface is uneven or textured, applying a thick bed of adhesive.
• Cover an area sufficient to apply one length of Insulating Lining Paper Graphite+ at a time:
• Ensure the pasted area exceeds the width of the Insulating Lining Paper Graphite+.
• Use a brush or spatula to apply adhesive to areas the roller cannot reach.
• Apply the expanded polystyrene side of the product to the adhesive/wall.
• Place Insulating Lining Paper Graphite+ directly from the roll onto the wet adhesive and slide into place.
• Smooth out any bubbles with a roller or similar tool.
• Leave a small amount of surplus material for trimming where necessary.
• Cut off any excess material at the ceiling, floors, and corners using a trimming knife and a forming board.
• For external corners, fill and sand the exposed edge of the material with flexible filler for a neat finish.
• Allow 48 hours for drying; longer if conditions are especially humid or cold.
• It is recommended to allow Insulating Lining Paper Graphite+ to dry naturally:
  • Turn off heating while the wallcovering adhesive dries, unless ambient temperatures are likely to drop below 10°C.
• Fill any small gaps at seams and corners with flexible filler.
• It is recommended to line the Insulating Lining Paper Graphite+ with ‘Wallrock Fibreliner’:
  • This product is strong, durable, and dimensionally stable, complementing the Insulating Lining Paper Graphite+ perfectly.
• The resulting surface is ready for painting or can be overhung with textured or printed wallcoverings.
