PIR Insulation Boards delivered to Guildford

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.

For jobs in Guildford we quote PIR insulation boards as a delivered price to your postcode, with the vehicle and offload method agreed up front.

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.

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.

Quantities: a worked example

Insulating 16 m² of rafters, floor or wall takes 6 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

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.
