PIR Insulation Boards: choosing well

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.

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 the council's building standards service will confirm.

In Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Working out quantities for your East Kilbride job

Insulating 45 m² of rafters, floor or wall takes 17 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

Getting PIR insulation boards onto your East Kilbride site

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

  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around G74 are priced to the exact address.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
  • Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.

PIR Insulation Boards questions

How soon can PIR insulation boards be delivered in East Kilbride?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

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.

How thick should PIR insulation be?

It depends on where it goes and the U-value required. Pitched roofs often need 100 mm or more between and under rafters; floors and walls vary. Use the maker's U-value tables or ask your designer.
