Manufacturer of elastomeric
thermal insulation products,
Armacell UK, has secured a
contract extension until the
end of 2013 to supply British
Gas. The agreement
maintains Armacell as a
preferred supplier of pipe
insulation for heating and
plumbing installations,
including central heating
pipework and boiler
condensate pipes.

In addition to polyethylene
and elastomeric pipe
insulation products, the
contract includes a solution
for protecting against
property damage during
boiler repairs and
installations.

The products supplied to
British Gas are manufactured
in the UK, a factor which
Armacell general manager,
Mike Rust, sees as integral to
the success of the agreement.

“We are able to produce
tailored product solutions to
satisfy local building and fire
regulations whilst remaining
competitive on price due to
our comparatively low
transport and haulage costs.”
