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 building control 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 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.

Estimating your PIR insulation boards

Insulating 45 m² of rafters, floor or wall takes 17 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

Delivery to Whitehaven: what helps

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

• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around CA28 are priced to the exact address.
• Pallets left on a pavement can block the footway, so plan a drop point inside your boundary where you can.
• With roughly 7h 15m of daylight in Whitehaven around the shortest day, morning deliveries leave more working light for the job.

Your questions answered

How soon can PIR insulation boards be delivered in Whitehaven?

We confirm the delivery date when we price your order, before you commit. It depends on the product, the quantity and whether it is a stock line or made to order.

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.

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

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

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.
