Condition report & known defects

Carbon & sustainability notes

No reuse CO₂ credit is claimed on this lot: it is unused stock, so the embodied carbon was committed at manufacture. Buying it still prevents waste — material sent to landfill or energy recovery delivers none of its embodied value.

With Part Z and embodied-carbon reporting moving up the agenda, documented reuse like this is increasingly worth recording in your project's carbon log.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Manchester premises — forklift loading available weekdays 7:30am–4pm.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £45–£70 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

Typical applications

  • Floor insulation under screed or chipboard
  • Dot-and-dab and stud-wall drylining
  • Garage conversions and garden offices
  • Acoustic upgrades between floors

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.
