Insulation boards

Which boards provide the best insulation?

Our PIR insulation boards are known for their superior thermal performance, making them the best choice for a wide range of applications. They offer a high Rd value and minimise heat loss, making them ideal for insulating buildings and spaces.

How thick should insulation boards be?

The thickness of insulation boards depends on the specific application and the desired insulation value. 

Which is better: EPS or PIR insulation?

PIR insulation offers better thermal performance than EPS, meaning you need less thickness to achieve the same insulation value. It also offers better fire resistance and has higher compressive strength.

Which is better: glass wool or PIR boards?

Although both materials have their advantages, PIR insulation offers higher thermal resistance and is easier to handle and install than glass wool.

Is a vapour barrier necessary with PIR boards?

When using PIR boards, it is often advisable to install a vapour barrier in order to avoid condensation problems and extend the life of your insulation.

Are PIR boards fireproof?

PIR (polyisocyanurate) insulation boards are known not only for their excellent thermal performance, but also for their improved fire safety compared to other insulation materials.

How much does your EPC score fall with external wall insulation?

Insulating external walls can significantly improve your EPC score, with a drop of 8 to 12% being possible. The exact reduction depends on the current condition of the house, the type of insulation, and the thickness of the insulation layer.

How many degrees does facade insulation save?

Facade insulation can have a significant impact on the temperature in your home. In winter it keeps the heat in, while in summer it helps keep the heat out. Facade insulation can increase the indoor temperature of your home by about 3 to 5°C, depending on the quality of the insulation and the existing situation of the walls.
