About Insulation

Insulation plays an important role in improving thermal efficiency, reducing heat loss and creating more comfortable buildings. Simply Timber supplies a range of insulation materials for construction, extensions, renovations, loft conversions and home improvement projects. Our selection includes rigid PIR insulation boards, mineral wool loft insulation, acoustic insulation and cavity wall insulation for a variety of building applications.

Choosing the right insulation depends on where it will be installed and the performance required. PIR insulation boards are commonly specified for floors, walls and certain roof constructions, while mineral wool rolls provide practical thermal insulation for loft spaces. Acoustic insulation rolls and slabs can help reduce sound transmission through internal partitions, floors and ceilings when incorporated into a suitable building system. Dedicated cavity wall insulation products are available for full-fill and partial-fill masonry cavity construction.

When comparing insulation materials, consider the thickness, thermal conductivity, dimensions, pack coverage and intended application. A lower thermal conductivity value indicates better insulating performance for the same thickness, but the overall performance of a wall, floor or roof also depends on its complete construction.

Whether you're a builder, contractor or homeowner, Simply Timber helps you source insulation materials for projects throughout England. Check the individual product specifications and installation guidance to ensure your chosen insulation suits your building design.
