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

  • Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
  • On busy streets in Cambridge, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CB2 are priced to the exact address.

Before you order PIR insulation boards

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.

Fire considerations

PIR is a combustible product. Building regulations restrict combustible materials in some situations, such as external walls of taller buildings; check what applies.

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.
