PIR Production Challenges, and Price Increases
Unfortunately, further raw material shortages as of the beginning of May 2017 are affecting lead times and availability of PIR insulation from all manufactures – Celotex, Ecotherm, Kingspan and Recticel.
Manufacturers are providing limited stock on an allocation basis to our suppliers and depots. We will endeavour to source the required stock, however, we may need to mix and match equivalent products from multiple manufactures, suppliers and depots. This may affect the rates; we will of course discuss possible solutions with you before proceeding and will do our best to keep additional costs down.
Specialised insulation boards will be affected more than general application boards, so please allow additional time to process and deliver these orders.
Please allow extended lead times on PIR and Phenolic foam insulation. These supply issues are likely to continue until March 2018.

Product Description
Celotex FR5000 is a new revolutionary fire resistant PIR insulation board specifically aimed at pitched roof and wall applications requiring Class 'O' fire rated performance. FR5000 is the most cost effective thermally efficient product offering Class O fire performance throughout the product – not just at the foam core! Offering enhanced thermal performance as well as an 'A' rating in the BRE Green Guide 2008, low GwP, and Class "O" fire performance throughout the entire product.
With its low emissivity textured aluminium foil facings on both sides, FR5000 is manufactured from rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) using blowing agents that have low global warming potential (GwP)
and zero ozone depletion potential (zero odP)
Product Benefits
Offering best in class performance, Celotex FR5000 is over 100% more thermally efficient than many mineral fibre products and up to 10% better than typical PIR.
Developed specifically for use in pitched roofs, floors and walls, Celotex FR5000 is a high performance insulation board that:
Has a lower thermal conductivity value (0.021W/mK) compared with other typical PIR insulation boards providing enhanced thermal performance and better U-values
Has super low emissivity value with Celotex IQ, delivering some of the highest performing PIR rigid board insulation solutions
Achieves an 'A+' rating when compared to the BRE Green Guide
Has Class O fire performance throughout the entire product in accordance with BS 476
Is suitable for a range of applications including pitched roofs, walls and floors
