More stringent thermal regulations are now in place across the UK, bringing significant changes for new and existing buildings.

To help you understand what's changed, what it means for specification and installation, plus how ROCKWOOL insulation solutions can assist in meeting and exceeding the new requirements, download our straightforward guides to thermal regulations.

We have guides available for England, Wales, and Scotland with the regulations that will apply to your project's location.
