transformedthekitchen…

“Not only does the kitchen look cleaner, it’s much easier to keep clean, it’s warmer and it creates a much better impression for clients. The inbuilt insulation in CEILINK also has great acoustic properties. On days when the rain is really drumming on the roof, the sound is deadened. Previously you couldn’t hear yourself think.”

Foruseinamultitudeofnewandretrofitapplications:

• CEILINK is a rigid insulated panel designed to be easily

installed as a ceiling or lining in commercial applications.

• CEILINK panels are manufactured in custom lengths ranging

from1800mmto6000mm,whichmeanslessjoints.

• CEILINK is available inThredboWhiteDurakote® pre-painted

steel,15%glosslevelin2finishes,stuccoembossedorsmooth.

• CEILINK offers two different core materials which include

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) or Polyisocyanurate (PIR)

sandwiched together between Durakote® painted white

steel and a reflective foil backing. EPS is a closed cell

lightweight cellular plastics material produced from

polystyrene modified with the addition of flame retardant

additives. PIR is a cellular plastic that has the highest

thermal insulating values of any conventional foam

insulationcommerciallyavailabletoday.

• All CEILINK panels come with a 10 year manufacturer’s

warranty.

Energy Efficient InsulationAchieving total R values up to R

T5.7, CEILINK provides high

thermal resistance and long term R Values serving to be the simplest and most practical solution for BCA Section J compliance. Complying with AS/NZS4859.1 and manufactured with an Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) or Polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulated core, CEILINK offers Group1 fire rating for AS/NZS3837:1998 BCA ceiling and lining requirements.

Eco FriendlyCEILINK is manufactured without the use of harmful CFC’s/HFC’s /HCFC’s reducing thecarbon footprint of commercialbuildings. Along with Zero Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and Zero Global Warming Potential (GWP), CEILINK panels aremanufacturedwithmaterialswhichcanalsoberecycled or reused if uninstalled with care.

Durable, Lightweight & Looks GreatWithanattractivepre-finishedwhitesteelfaceCEILINKoffers a fast and simpleway to insulate& finish a ceiling or soffitwithoutGyprockormessyfixings.

CEILINK’s unique tongue-and-groove jointing system meansjoints are tight and tidy. CEILINK is rodent and moisture resistant,andable towithstand temperatures from-50°Cto 130°C (PIR). Weighing only 3.85kg/m2 (EPS) and 5.4kg/m2

(PIR),CEILINKislightweightandeasytoinstall,suitableforuseon ceilings or walls.
