Before your Durham delivery arrives

Boards are light but bulky; they travel in wrapped packs and should be stored flat and dry. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Durham.

  • Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.

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.

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.

Questions about PIR insulation boards delivery in Durham

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Durham?

There is no fixed minimum. For very small orders we will tell you honestly if the delivery cost outweighs the materials, so you can decide.

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 trades and homeowners in Durham?

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

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.
