Choosing PIR insulation boards

Thickness for the U-value

The thickness you need depends on the U-value the building regulations require and the rest of the build-up. Manufacturers publish U-value tables; your designer or building control will confirm.

Sealing joints

Tape the joints with foil tape so the foil layer works as a continuous vapour control layer where the design relies on it.

In England, building work is checked against the Approved Documents, for example Part A for structure and Part L for energy efficiency, through your council's building control team or a registered building control approver.

How much will you need?

Insulating 12 m² of rafters, floor or wall takes 5 boards of 2400 × 1200 mm including offcuts. The thickness depends on the U-value you need, so check it before you order. Try the insulation calculator

Delivery to Bedford: what helps

Boards are light but bulky; they travel in wrapped packs and should be stored flat and dry. Bedford is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.

Common questions from Bedford

What is the foil for?

The foil facing reflects heat, protects the foam and, when joints are taped, can act as a vapour control layer.

Do you deliver PIR insulation boards to trades and homeowners in Bedford?

Both. Trades can apply for a trade account; homeowners and self-builders can order on a delivered quote.

Can you deliver PIR insulation boards to a site with restricted access in Bedford?

Usually, yes. Tell us about the access when you ask for a price and we will plan the vehicle and offload, or say if a smaller vehicle is needed.

Can PIR be used in external walls?

In some situations, but building regulations restrict combustible insulation in external walls of certain buildings. Check the rules for your building.
