We care about our planet, shouldn't you?

What do we sell?

We sell only original and new prducts. We do not sell seconds, which can often be warped or spoilt or uneven size.
Planet Insulation provides the latest household insulation delivered direct to your door at a price you can afford. We stock products from all the major suppliers, including: Kingspan, Celotex, British Gypsum, Tri-Iso 10, Jablite, Isover and Mineral wool for lofting.

How can we give a free donation to charity ?

The credit card companies charge us an extra fee everytime you use their card to buy something. Therefore, when you use a debit card to pay, we donate the money we save to an environmental cause (at no extra cost to you!). Of course you can still pay using a credit card.

Our discount price structure is automatic and caters for those buyers with bigger orders. Just input the number of boards you require and an automatic discount is generated.

We deliver all over mainland UK within 72 hours of your order. Delivery dates can be chosen by you, we sadly do not take orders under £200.

Having sold insulation for a number of years we are able to offer very competitive prices for the smaller builder and home owner. We even offer larger discounts when you order in bulk.

How much more efficient is Kingspan and celotex versus regular rock wool

A home insulation question we are asked all the time is; what is the equivalent thickness of Kingspan or Celotex to that achieved by 100mm mineral wool?

The Answer is 35mm of Celotex or Kingspan will perform better. In more complex terms GA3035 has an R value of 2.35m2K/W 100mm Crown Loft Roll 44 has an R value of 2.27m2K/W which is lower and so inferior.

We believe that Kingspan and Celotex offer the most space effective and cost effective method of achieving maximum insulation in your home. Whether you are using the Kingspan TP10 range or the Celotex GA3000 range these foil back boards offer excellent thermal conductivity characteristics or R value. As a rule of thumb a regular Kingspan or Celotex board will offer three times the thermal conductivity insulation of cheaper Jablite ( polystyrene) . The Kingspan K range or the phenolic range of insulation offers a slight improvement over the traditional TP10 boards( pur foam). This comes in the form of a small uplift in thermal efficiency (about 10%) improved fire retardant qualities and slightly better compressive strength qualities.

Take time to think about saving electricity and the environment.

Have a look at our global warming page it is a bit depressing but brings together some of the latest thoughts on what global warming really means.

We also have a simple guide to steps that you can take to reduce your electricity bills and areas where we think your money is better saved. We start with loft insulation and steps that you can take to upgrade your property without breaking the bank.

Sustainability

Celotex products have been independently assessed by the BRE. With full �cradle to grave� profiles, you can be confident the results take into account the full lifetime environmental impact, including raw material extraction, manufacture, distribution, in-use performance and disposal. As well as a comprehensive suite of environmental profiles, Celotex's Eco-Points score confirms Celotex as the PIR manufacturer with the lowest environmental impact. This score drives their newly awarded A+ rating within the 2008 Green Guide to Specification, allowing credits to be earned under the Materials section of The Code For Sustainable Homes and BREEAM. As the products are low GWP and zero ODP rated further credits can also be gained in the Pollution category. In addition, our �Climate Change� score confirms Celotex as having the lowest carbon footprint of any PIR manufacturer. The Celotex range of products encompasses the thickest and thinnest PIR boards available today helping reduce carbon emissions and lowering the overall emissions from homes, buildings and offices; and the use of Celotex helps gain substantial credits in the Energy & CO2 Emissions category of the Code for Sustainable Homes. Through its lowest environmental impact score, lowest carbon footprint and broadest product offering, Celotex is proven to be the most sustainable PIR product solution.
