Insulation Solutions

We are now able to offer a full range of insulation solutions for both pitched and flat roofing applications. We have invested in a major programme focused on providing you with the best choice of insulation products in a wide range of thicknesses to suit different applications. Our staff have undergone intensive training and are available to answer any questions and advise of best practice.

Insulation is an important part of the roof and there are many reasons why a roofing contractor uses insulation whether it be to reduce heat loss/heat gain, reduce running costs, reduce the risk of freezing or to provide condensation control. It is also essential in complying with mandatory legislation such as the Building Regulations.

Chris Guest, National UK Sales Manager for Kingspan Insulation, one of the major manufacturers with whom we partner, explains “Whichever solution you pick to the question of where to place rafter level insulation, I recommend rigid phenolic insulation urethane insulation as they provide the thinnest solutions to the requirements of the Approved Documents L1 & L2. Thus providing the optimum solutions in terms of condensation risk reduction, headroom and bargeboard depth”.

Kingspan pitched roof insulation boards Kingspan Thermpitch TP10 zero ODP (rigid urethane insulation) and Kingspan Kooltherm ® K7 Pitched Roof Board (rigid phenolic insulation) have the following benefits:

  • Excellent thermal performance
