In this section, we’ll examine how thermal insulation works throughout a building, showing […]

Fire-resistant insulation is available in many forms for use throughout a range of building projects. There is a general rating system by which all insulation can be tested, with options available that are fully non-combustible. While some types of insulation will be resistant to extreme temperatures, and non-combustible, none of them will ever be entirely […]

Polyisocyanurate boards, known as PIR insulation boards, are rigid insulation boards used throughout construction. They bring several clear advantages over previously used polyurethane (PUR) boards. We’ve created this guide to PIR Insulation to help our customers gain an understanding of its benefits and to talk you through the wide range of products we sell through […]

Walls are responsible for around 35% of heat loss in a building, a major concern for any homeowner.
