Picking the right product

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.

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.

Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.

Planning the drop in Cardiff

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

• For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
• With roughly 7h 50m of daylight in Cardiff around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• On busy streets in Cardiff, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Common questions from Cardiff

How many PIR boards do I need?

Divide the area by 2.88 m² (one 2400 × 1200 board) and add about 5 to 10 percent for cutting.

Do you deliver PIR insulation boards to Cardiff?

Yes. We deliver across Cardiff, including CF10, CF11, CF24. Cardiff is inside our standard mainland delivery area. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

Is PIR better than mineral wool?

PIR insulates more per millimetre, so it suits tight spaces. Mineral wool is non-combustible, cheaper per square metre and better for sound.

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

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.
