By 2030, there's potential that if a home's energy performance doesn't have a certificate rating of C or above, they could be banned from the rental market. We believe that energy efficiency pays for itself, not to mention the benefit for the planet: thetimes.com/uk/politics/ar…

PIR, with its high compressive strength and cost-efficient assembly, offers a competitive payback period when compared with other insulation types. Our CE, Simon Storer, discusses in more depth in the short video below. #FabricFirst

New research from the #UniversityOfBath indicates that multiple carbon accounting systems are hindering efforts to achieve #NetZero. A co-author of the paper, notes that different methods of measuring emissions create difficulties in tracking progress: energylivenews.com/2024/10/17/uni…

Labour’s victory in the July #GeneralElection was said to be a push to mark the start of the UK’s transformation to a green and low-carbon economy and society, but is this a reasonable expectation? Our CE, Simon Storer, discusses his views.

This #PIR insulation - BauderECO FF thermal - is expected to deliver stricter requirements to reduce energy consumption & meet sustainability targets. Great work from our member, making a step in the right direction towards 2050 goals. bauder.co.uk/news/revolutio… Futurebuild

In our latest video series, Simon Storer explores the need to #retrofit the UKs #housing stock. Simon notes that fuel poverty is, sadly, a fact of life for many and that many of our buildings are in need of an upgrade to become more #EnergyEfficient and cheaper to run.

This The Guardian podcast highlights a #retrofitting renovator with high hopes and how to reduce poorly insulated buildings to make them thermally efficient – designed to be warm in winter and cool in summer. Should we be adopting a similar approach? theguardian.com/future-labs-mo…

R-value is a measure of thermal resistance - the value takes both the lambda value of a material and the actual thickness into account. Our CE, Simon Storer, discusses in more detail in the short video below. #Rvalue #ThermalPerformance #Uvalue

A specialist high-performance solution for cavity walls, Eurowall® Cavity was used on this @RecticelInsulUK project. The products’ durability & limited moisture absorption are supported by excellent thermal performance: recticelinsulation.com/en-gb/eurowall… #NewBuild #MemberSpotlight

While Labour's goal to build 1.5 million homes is a promising step forward, Simon Storer emphasises how PIR and PUR insulation play a vital role in improving energy efficiency. Read our latest article, from RCI magazine: insulationmanufacturers.org.uk/net-zero-new-h… #NetZero #PIRInsulation

With our latest CPD, you’ll learn how to interpret the Sprayed Foam Inspection Protocol, assess spray foam installations, and understand why this material is a reliable and energy-efficient insulation choice. insulationmanufacturers.org.uk/inside-insulat… #CPD #BuiltEnvironment

Rigid PUR foam, with its closed cell structure, performs exceptionally in flood prone areas by minimising water uptake and speeding up drying times. Learn more about the benefits of PUR Insulation: insulationmanufacturers.org.uk/inside-insulat… #PURInsulation #FloodRisk #BuildingMaterials

Environmental impact isn’t just about production - it’s about performance & end-of-life impact also. PIR initially has a higher footprint, but its efficiency, longevity & low maintenance make it a sustainable choice. #BuildingSustainability #Insulation

Wishing all of our members, partners, and supporters a wonderful festive season! 🎄 Together, we've made significant strides in promoting energy efficiency and we’re excited for the opportunities 2025 will bring. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 🎉 #MerryChristmas

With 29 million UK homes needing retrofitting by 2050 and 50% of homes uninsulated, the need for action is clear. A national retrofit strategy could unlock £56 billion in health benefits, alongside energy and carbon savings. #Retrofitting #NetZero #HealthyHomes

The Design & Installation Guidelines for Partial Fill Cavity Wall Boards are here to help you get the most out of PIR insulation.

The past few years have seen a cloud of misconception around Spray Foam insulation, following an inaccurate report. Removal is rarely needed and comes at a great expense, but if you are unsure, the IMA website can help you seek advice. #SprayFoam #Housing

IMA’s updated Design and Installation Guidelines for PIR Floor Insulation is now live! This new resource is a must-read for anyone involved in floor insulation projects, whether for new builds or retrofitting: bit.ly/4gJpo8i #PIRInsulation #BuildingEfficiency

PIR insulation offers superior thermal performance, achieving the same results with a thinner layer compared to some other insulants, helping meet building regulations and Passivhaus standards. #PIRInsulation #ThermalEfficiency #SustainableBuilding #EnergyEfficiency
