Before your Newtownabbey delivery arrives

Boards are light but bulky; they travel in wrapped packs and should be stored flat and dry. Deliveries to Northern Ireland include a sea crossing, so we quote each order individually.

• With roughly 7h 14m of daylight in Newtownabbey around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.

Getting the right PIR insulation boards

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 Northern Ireland building work follows the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland), with guidance in the Technical Booklets, and applications go to the council's building control team.

PIR Insulation Boards questions

Is there a minimum order for delivery to Newtownabbey?

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.

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

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

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.
