PIR Insulation Boards: choosing well

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.

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.

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 Peckham

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

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• On busy streets in Peckham, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
• In summer Peckham gets around 16h 38m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Your questions answered

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

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.

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

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

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.
