As Heat Shield

When used as a Heat Shield, Hilux board must be fixed spaced off the heat-sensitive material (internal lining/framing), to provide an air gap behind the Heat Shield to allow ventilation and reduce heat build-up, as per AS NZS 2918. Ventilation air gaps at the top and bottom of the Heat Shield must also be provided and must not be closed or blocked off.
