Getting PIR insulation boards onto your Forres site

Boards are light but bulky; they travel in wrapped packs and should be stored flat and dry. Forres is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately.

• With roughly 6h 33m of daylight in Forres around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.

Choosing PIR insulation boards

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.

How much will you need?

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

Ordering PIR insulation boards for Forres: FAQs

Do you deliver PIR insulation boards to Forres?

Yes. We deliver across Forres, including IV36. Forres is in an area where deliveries are priced individually because of the distance and access, so we quote each order separately. Send your list or call 0800 088 6341 and we will price it delivered to your postcode.

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

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.

Can PIR be used in external walls?

In some situations, but building regulations restrict combustible insulation in external walls of certain buildings. Check the rules for your building.

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.
