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.
We have also been notified of further price increases due to take affect in September and October. With the raw material shortage issue and the increased demand as we get closer to the increase dates, please allow as much time as possible to order PIR insulation. Any orders taken that are not able to be delivered until after the increase dates will be charged at post increase prices.
Expect, amongst others, the following PIR Insulation price increases …
October 16, 2017 – Celotex – 13.5% to 17.5%
TBC – Kingspan (Therma ranges only) – increase TBC
TBC – Ecotherm – increase TBC
October 1, 2017 – Recticel – 10% to 20%

Celotex TA4000 Flat Roof Boards - Heavy Traffic
Presently, these boards are only available from Celotex when manufactured to order
Product Functions 
Celotex TA4000 Flat Roof PIR Boards are purpose designed for single-ply flat roofing applications.
Use Celotex TA4000 high performance insulation in mechanically fixed, single-ply flat roofing systems where the higher compressive strength of the board gives improved resistance to site traffic during installation. Fitted under mechanically fixed single-ply PVC membranes and EPDM membranes
Product Description
TA4000 is a fire rated board, purpose designed for single-ply flat roofing applications that have a higher compressive strength which gives improved resistance to site traffic during installation. Now with their higher compressive strength, mechanically fixed, single-ply roofing system, TA4000 boards provide a quick and easy method of achieving effective thermal insulation in a single-ply flat roofing application.
With low emissivity foil facings and specifically for use in mechanically fixed and ballasted single-ply systems, TA4000 boards have a higher compressive strength which gives improved resistance to site traffic during installation.
Product availability indicators
TA4000 - Price and Availability Advisory:
