Picking the right product

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.

Planning the drop in Gosport

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

  • If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
  • With roughly 7h 57m of daylight in Gosport around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
  • Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.

Common questions from Gosport

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.

How soon can PIR insulation boards be delivered in Gosport?

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.

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.

Can I add other materials to my Gosport delivery?

Yes. Put everything on one list, from PIR insulation boards to fixings and PPE, and we will price it as one delivery where the products can travel together.
