KOOLSPAN
Koolspan is a composite insulated ceiling panel,
developed for installation under existing roofs or for
new buildings. Koolspan is comprised of an expanded
polystyrene sheet (EPS) laminated to a fibre cement
board or plastic facing.
QUALITY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM |
| ISO 9001:2000 in progress. |
FEATURES & BENEFITS |
- Ease of installation
- Can be washed with high pressure hoses
- Lightweight & easy to handle
- Non-toxic
- Long product life - will not age
- Fibre cement board contains no asbestos
|
FIRE PROPERTIES |
Fibre cement board:
- Non-combustible SABS 0177 Part V (BS 476 Part 4)
- Offers a fire resistant surface to the EPS
The heat contribution of EPS to fires is
negligible as EPS contains less than 480 g of polymer/m2 for every 30 mm
thickness. |
THERMAL PROPERTIES |
| Refer to physical properties table. |
DURABILITY |
- Odourless, inert and fully compatible with all
standard building materials & components
- Will not promote corrosion of steel, copper
or aluminium
- Will not sustain vermin
- Will not breed or promote fungi, mould or bacteria
- Rot proof
|
APPLICATION |
|
Koolspan has a variety of domestic and industrial
applications. It is particularly well suited to agricultural
applications where a combination of thermal
properties and an impact resistant washable surface is
required e.g. chicken poultry houses and piggeries.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS |
Below purlins and suspended ceilings
- Koolspan can be installed using a standard suspended ceiling grid, or a top-hat section.
- Ensure that boards are secured to prevent uplift and cross tees/members at ends of boards are fixed to main tees/members to prevent movement.
- Ridgid hangers (galv angles) are preferred to wire hangers and large boards at full width should be avoided
Over purlins
- Koolspan boards are fixed simultaneously with roofing sheets and must be supported in the lengths by T or H sections
- End joints must be butted together on top of the purlin and the sheet lengths will be determined by the purlin spacing.
- Based on a 25 mm thick board a maximum span of 1800 mm should not be exceeded when using H or T sections.
|
HANDLING & STORAGE |
Koolspan should always be stored under cover and
protected from the elements. Boards should be carried
on the edge. Excess bending can damage the surface of
the boards.
You are advised to contact your nearest Sagex office for technical assistance.
