Before your Fareham delivery arrives
Boards are light but bulky; they travel in wrapped packs and should be stored flat and dry. Fareham is inside our standard mainland delivery area.
- Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
- Deliveries are to the kerb, drive or within crane reach; ask if materials need to go further.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
PIR Insulation Boards: choosing well
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.
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.
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.
Quantities: a worked example
Insulating 24 m² of rafters, floor or wall takes 9 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
Common questions from Fareham
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.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Fareham?
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.
Do you deliver PIR insulation boards to trades and homeowners in Fareham?
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.
