Handling and Storage
The polythene packaging of Kingspan Kooltherm® should not be considered
adequate for long term outdoor protection. Ideally, boards should be stored
inside a building. If, however, outside storage cannot be avoided, then the
boards should be stacked clear of he ground and covered with a polythene
sheet or weatherproof tarpaulin. Boards that have been allowed to get wet
should not be used.
Kingspan Kooltherm® K5 External Wall Board should be protected from getting
wet during periods of inclement weather prior to the application of the
weatherproof render .
