Planning the drop in Gwent
Boards are light but bulky; they travel in wrapped packs and should be stored flat and dry. Our standard mainland delivery area covers Gwent.
- For a phased build we can split the order so materials arrive as each stage starts, which keeps the site clear.
- Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
- If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
Things to check before you order
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.
Wales has its own Approved Documents, including its own Part L for energy efficiency, and building control is handled by the local authority or a registered approver.
PIR Insulation Boards in Gwent: questions
How thick should PIR insulation be?
It depends on where it goes and the U-value required. Pitched roofs often need 100 mm or more between and under rafters; floors and walls vary. Use the maker's U-value tables or ask your designer.
Can I add other materials to my Gwent 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.
Is there a minimum order for delivery to Gwent?
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.
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.
