Recent Name Change:

Recently Celotex boards went under strict review due to the Grenfell Tower incident. As a result, most of the general application boards (Celotex GA4000 and Celotex TB4000 range) were downgraded in their thermal performance from 0.022 to 0.023. As a result of this Celotex changed the names of the boards affected by this to TB3000 and Celotex GA3000 range.

This change as a result of the Grenfell Tower disaster has now been undone. Celotex and local government testing has done extensive testing on all the Celotex range and as a result, the new Celotex TB4000 and Celotex GA4000 range meets the required standards to meet the Thermal Conductivity of 0.022. As of now all Celotex range of products like celotex floor insulation are listed here meets and exceeds all requirements set upon it.
