Your reference for Recticel PIR insulation.

Not every brand of PIR thermal insulation is as easy to install.

Because we manufacture our boards to the most perfecting standards, installation is significantly easier. Precision cut straight edges, greater consistency in board size, high compressive strength and a super-flat surface finish makes installations quicker, easier and more cost effective. So for a trouble-free, perfect build, use Recticel PIR insulation.

RegulationsThe Building Regulations (England & Wales) and Building Standards (Scotland) are technical guidance to ensure that buildings are safe, energy efficient and comfortable to live in. They also ensure compliance with the performance requirements of the regulations.

For insulation manufacturers and our customers, the relevant regulation for England and Wales is Approved Document L (Conservation of fuel and power) or Part L as it is more commonly known, and this supports the energy efficiency requirements of the Building Regulations. For Scotland, guidance is provided by the Building Standards, specifically Section 6 (energy) of the Technical Handbooks.

These regulations determine the level of thermal insulation required when carrying out any building work, whether new build or renovation of dwellings (homes) or non-dwellings (mainly commercial buildings). There are requirements for U-values, a basic measure of heat transfer (thermal transmittance, units – W/m2K) through the various construction elements (roof, wall, floor).

As we move towards zero carbon buildings, standards are becoming even more demanding and with the focus on fabric energy efficiency, there is greater need for continuous insulation, reduced thermal bridging, improved airtightness and lower U-values.

For new buildings, compliance with the regulations is assessed and demonstrated by calculations within software, SAP for dwellings and SBEM for non-dwellings. The software calculates the energy demand and likely CO2 emissions for the building depending upon the design specifications.

There are tables detailing the various U-value requirements depending on your location within the UK. Adopting the fabric first approach based on low U-values will put you on the right path to compliance.

For advice on U-values you can contact Recticel Technical Services team who are members of the BBA Competent Persons U-value scheme, and can provide calculations as a free of charge service. Alternatively, you can visit our website and access the online U-value calculator.



Breather membraneA membrane with low resistance to the passage of moisture vapour, positioned on the outside of any insulation layers, usually to act as secondary weather protection behind tile and cladding finishes.

P/A ratioUsed in U-value calculations for ground floors, where the pattern of heat loss is different to other construction elements. ‘P’ refers to the length of the exposed perimeter (i.e. the length of floor abutting external walls and unheated spaces). ‘A’ is the total floor area to be insulated, and P is divided by A to give the ratio.

PIRPolyisocyanurate (PIR) is a type of rigid foam insulation developed from polyurethane (PUR).

Thermal conductivity / lambda / K-valueA measure of how much heat energy a material allows to pass through it. It is a consistent property of the material, so a 25mm Eurothane GP board has the same 0.022 W/mK thermal conductivity as a 150mm Eurothane GP board.

Thermal resistance / R-valueDividing the thickness of an insulation board by its thermal conductivity gives the thermal resistance. The thicker the board, the higher the R-value. Can be used to find out comparative thicknesses of products with different thermal conductivities.

Thermal transmittance / U-value Only worked out by calculation, combining the thermal resistances of all materials and layers in a complete construction to determine the heat loss per square metre. As such, an insulation board does not have its own U-value as it depends how/where it is being used.

Vapour control layer (VCL)A layer of high vapour resistance, positioned on the inside of any insulation layers, to restrict the passage of moisture vapour from inside a building. Should be continuous from one construction element to another, and not punctured for services to pass through. May be formed from polythene sheet, taped insulation board joints or foil backed plasterboard, and commonly acts as an airtightness layer as well.

Glossary of terms

FAQsWhat quality standards do Recticel products meet?Recticel Insulation prides itself on the quality of its product. We operate a Quality Management System in accordance with the requirements of BS EN ISO 9001 and offer CE Marking to European Standard EN 13165.

How environmentally friendly is the production of Recticel PIR insulation?All Recticel Insulation products use CFC and HCFC free materials in their manufacture, and as such have a low global warming potential (GWP) and zero ozone depletion potential (ODP). Recticel Insulation, Stoke-on-Trent (UK), operates to the ISO 14001 Environmental Management System standard.

What is the minimum working temperature for installing your boards?Recticel Insulation products should not be installed on site when the temperature is below 5°C. Below this, condensation may form.

What is the BBA Competent Person Scheme?The scheme, of which Recticel Insulation is a member, ensures consistency and accuracy in the provision of U-value calculations through a process of assessment, certification and continuous monitoring. Not all insulation manufacturers are members of the scheme.

Is a vapour control layer (VCL) required in a floor?In addition to the damp proof membrane (normally a 1200-gauge polythene sheet below the insulation), a 500-gauge polythene VCL should be laid over the insulation. Where a concrete slab or a screed is to be poured on top, the VCL will also protect the foil face of the board from alkaline within the concrete, and stop poured concrete opening board joints and causing a thermal break.



What product can be used with underfloor heating?Eurothane GP is compatible with underfloor heating systems. Clipping a wet system through the vapour control layer will not compromise the performance of the VCL or the insulation.

In a partial fill masonry cavity wall, what is the minimum required clear cavity?Best practice guidance is to design a minimum 50mm cavity, which is acceptable to all warranty providers and in any part of the country. However, if variations in workmanship lead to a reduced cavity, Eurowall Cavity is certified for use with a cavity as low as 25mm in some parts of the country. If in doubt, seek advice from your Building Control Officer or warranty provider.

Is Eurothane PL available with a vapour barrier?Eurothane PL is a versatile product that can be fixed either mechanically or with gypsum adhesive, in accordance with installation guidelines. It has a built-in vapour barrier as standard, located between the PIR core and the plasterboard.

Can insulation be placed between and over flat roof joists?BS 5250, the British Standard for the control of condensation in buildings, does not recommend installing insulation between timber joists as well as above the deck.

What air gap is required between insulation and breather membrane?This should be confirmed in the membrane manufacturer’s BBA certificate, though 25mm to 50mm is typical.
