Quality Assurance
We exclusively use glass mineral wool insulation, manufactured in the UK. Our premium insulation meets or exceeds all relevant British and European standards, including EN 13162 for factory-made mineral wool products and BS EN 1365-2:2014 for fire resistance. It achieves the highest A1 fire rating under EN 13501-1 and is rigorously tested for thermal performance under EN 12667.
Sustainable Manufacturing
Our insulation uses a groundbreaking bio-based binder derived from rapidly renewable natural materials, specifically plant starch. Unlike traditional insulation, this technology contains no added formaldehyde or phenol, creating a more environmentally responsible product.
The insulation comprises a minimum of 92% inert materials, with up to 70% being recycled glass (external cullet) from post-consumer windows, bottles, and jars. This high recycled content significantly reduces the demand for raw materials and the energy required in manufacturing. The remaining materials are primarily sand and dolomite which, when combined with the recycled glass, are melted and formed into the final mineral wool product.
With up to 70% recycled glass content from windows, bottles and jars, it's as kind to the planet as it is to your energy bills.
The UK production facilities use renewable energy certificates and maintain ISO 14001 environmental management certification. The entire production process is designed to minimise environmental impact while maximising performance - producing insulation that's as effective for your energy bills as it is responsible to our environment.
Every batch is tested for thermal performance and quality assurance under strict European standards.
We install the insulation to the recommended depth to achieve an R-value of 2.25 m²K/W, with a certified thermal conductivity of 0.044 W/mK at 10°C (tested to EN 12667). The performance has been verified through rigorous water vapour transmission testing (EN 12086) and density testing (EN 1602).
The raised boarding system we install protects this investment - creating a critical air gap that maintains the insulation's full thickness and performance. Unlike basic installations that compress insulation and reduce its effectiveness, our system ensures your insulation continues working at peak efficiency while providing useful storage space above.
All products are CE marked and comply with the EU Construction Products Regulation (305/2011), backed by full Declarations of Performance (DoP G4207CPCPR and G4209CPCPR). This comprehensive certification ensures you get consistent thermal performance and energy savings year after year, with the added reassurance of the highest fire safety standards.
Professional Boarding Installation
We install our premium-grade P5 boards over your insulation, creating a critical air gap that maintains the insulation's full thickness and effectiveness. Each board is manufactured in the UK using diamond-tipped tooling to achieve a precision tongue and groove profile, ensuring exceptionally tight, consistent joints - essential for a solid, reliable floor that lasts. Our installation exceeds British Safety Standards with certified slip resistance and 30-minute fire protection. Every board is secured directly to the joists through raised supports, creating a professional finish that's both practical and protective - you get a robust, moisture-resistant storage platform above while your insulation works at maximum efficiency below.
