PIR Insulation Boards delivered to Formby

PIR (polyisocyanurate) insulation boards are rigid foam boards with foil facings that give a lot of insulation for their thickness, used in floors, walls, pitched and flat roofs.

From L37 to L23, we price PIR insulation boards delivered to Formby and confirm the drop point and date when you order.

Getting PIR insulation boards onto your Formby site

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

  • Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around L37 are priced to the exact address.
  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • On busy streets in Formby, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.

Quantities: a worked example

Insulating 36 m² of rafters, floor or wall takes 14 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

Things to check before you order

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.

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.

Common questions from Formby

Do you deliver PIR insulation boards to trades and homeowners in Formby?

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

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 Formby?

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.
