What if I cannot provide all of the information required for thermal calculations of a specific project?
It is possible for us to make certain assumptions when performing a calculation, but this can reduce the accuracy of the final result. Assumptions are routinely made about the types of fixings to be used, but we will always try to inform you if a general figure has been used where more accurate data could affect the calculation result.
What is the BBA Competent Person Scheme?
The scheme, of which Recticel Insulation is a member, is designed to ensure 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.
What is the maximum temperature resistance of Recticel Insulation products?
Recticel Insulation products can withstand a safe operating temperature range of -20°C to 100°C. Higher temperatures can be withstood for a brief time in certain applications, for example when adhering hot bitumen to appropriate flat roofing boards.
What quality standards do Recticel Insulation products meet?
Recticel Insulation prides itself on the quality of its product, particularly its dimensional stability and flatness. We consider the quality of our boards to be second to none.
