Condition report & known defects

8/10
  • Sold as carefully de-nailed strip-out stock — verify facings before airtightness-critical use.
  • Minor handling marks from salvage and palletising; nothing affecting use.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 44 kg CO₂e versus producing virgin PIR/mineral wool boards (PIR ~3.5 kg CO₂e per m² at 100mm).

That's equivalent to about 260 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 2 mature trees absorb in a year.

Reuse is the single fastest way to cut a build's embodied carbon — substitution beats offsetting every time.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Bristol premises — kerbside hand-load or forklift by arrangement.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £55 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Typical applications

  • Dot-and-dab and stud-wall drylining
  • Garage conversions and garden offices
  • Acoustic upgrades between floors
  • Warm roof build-ups and rafter-level insulation

Questions about this lot

Do part-sheets affect building control sign-off?+

No — what matters is the declared lambda value and installed thickness. Keep a facing photo showing the print line for your Building Regs file.

How should boards be stored on site?+

Flat, dry and off the ground. PIR facings degrade with prolonged UV exposure, so keep the wrap on until the day of fixing.

Is mixed-brand insulation OK in one roof?+

Yes, provided each zone's U-value calc uses the correct lambda for the board actually installed there. This lot is single-brand across all 9 packs.
