Product overview
Where is it used?
The Unger-Diffutherm wood fibre boards can be used for internal (UdiIN) and external (UdiFRONT) solid wall insulation on brick or stone (a levelling coat of render may be required if the surface is uneven) or for direct fixing to timber frames to form a breathable and durable insulation system.
How is it used?
- In short, by screwing it to the wall and rendering it. Simple.
- For the full video installation guide please click here or read through the quick summary below.
- Wall surfaces need to be flat and smooth so there aren’t any voids behind the boards once installed.
- Diffutherm boards should not be installed less than 300mm above the ground level with either plinth insulation coming up to this point or a plinth rail to start the system off.
- Ideally there should be no horizontal or vertical joints within 300mm of the corners of any openings. If there are then the system adhesive must be used to glue the joints.
- Diffutherm boards should be laid in horizontal rows, with the tongues pointing upward and firmly fixed with the system fixings using an average of 9/m² externally or 6/m² internally.

- Each Unger-Diffutherm Insulation board is 1290 x 780mm which is 1.0m².
