Order PIR insulation boards for delivery in Prestwick

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.

Trades and homeowners in Prestwick can order PIR insulation boards for delivery by sending a list, a drawing or just the sizes of the job.

Things to check before you order

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 the council's building standards service will confirm.

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 Scotland most building work needs a building warrant from the local authority, assessed against the Building Standards Technical Handbooks.

Planning the drop in Prestwick

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

  • On busy streets in Prestwick, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
  • If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
  • If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.

A quick quantity check

Insulating 24 m² of rafters, floor or wall takes 9 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

Common questions from Prestwick

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

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.

How many PIR boards do I need?

Divide the area by 2.88 m² (one 2400 × 1200 board) and add about 5 to 10 percent for cutting.

What is the foil for?

The foil facing reflects heat, protects the foam and, when joints are taped, can act as a vapour control layer.

Can I add other materials to my Prestwick 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.
