The insulation you need for your project depends on the type of application that will be applied and where in the property the insulation boards are being fitted. Most of our PIR insulation boards can be used for multi-purpose use however you will need to know the thickness of the board you need. We would always suggest checking with your architect or builder before placing an order.

Each area of a property requires different insulation thickness. This is based on the purpose of the insulation and the required U-value of building regulations. Your architect or builder will advise you on the thickness you require.

All PIR (Polyisocyanurate) insulation boards have the same thermal conductivity of 0.022W/mK.

Insulation is the best prevention against mould by making cavities within the building dry and temperature controlled. Most boards are moisture resistant and mould, rot, and damp resistant which prevents mould from building up.

Insulation boards do not stop mould that has already developed within the property, and we do not recommend that insulation is installed within an area of the property that contains mould, rot, or damp as the problem can worsen.
If you do have a problem with mould, rot, or damp a professional should be contacted to get the existing problem under control before installing insulation.

The most recommended method to cut a PIR board is with a hand saw. The insulation boards should be placed on a table or on a surface that allows room underneath for the saw to go through the board. Before cutting the insulation boards make sure the products have been measured to the correct size and marked with guidelines if necessary. A ruler or plank of wood can be a handy tool to place on top of the board to keep the board in place when cutting.

Insulation boards should be stored on a flat surface in a dry space that is weatherproof. The insulation boards can be ineffective if soaked in water. If the boards encounter a little amount of liquid the boards should be wiped over and left to dry immediately.
Please note although insulation boards are rigid, walking on them can cause the internal foam core to begin to crumble and therefore cause the board to snap.
