With a history of continual product innovation, technical progression and an unrivalled product and service package spanning 90 years, Celotex remain the insulation specialist of choice. In September 2012 Saint-Gobain, the world leader in the habitat and construction markets, acquired Celotex. In June 2011, Celotex achieved a ‘best in class’ lambda value of 0.021 W/mK for its FR range, which delivers better U-values and thinner solutions. This thermal performance improvement has been validated by the BBA. In 2008 Celotex' plasterboard laminate PL4000 was launched offering the perfect solution for dry-lining applications. In 2008 FR4000 was launched and possessed Class O fire performance with a lambda value of 0.022 W/mK, which was not available from any other PIR manufacturer.
As the fastest growing insulation category within the UK, PIR (polyisocyanurate) insulation provides the perfect solution for meeting both current and future building regulations and other carbon reduction programmes. PIR insulation delivers high thermal performance allowing homes and buildings to achieve premium levels of energy efficiency and with some of the thinnest possible solutions.
