Pink/blue insulation board. Who sells it in the UK.

I buy mine from Screwfix, usually share the order with a friend as there is quite a lot in a pack. Good value though

6mm thick? What do you use that for?

I had a friendly builder ring round for me and he's found somewhere that should have 2400 x 600 x (whatever depth wanted, 50mm in my case) for a good price. I'll find out how good it is when he gets chance to pick it up. If it's the right stuff then I'll let people know where it's available from etc.

I have found it perfect for buildings, gives a nice scale thickness to the walls.

Found out earlier today (but after my last message) that Wickso Calypso have stopped carrying the stuff

Sorry all

Rather use that than 5mm foam core?

Absolutely, this has the advantage of being easily textured as brick, render etc

 We get the pink or blue stuff in at work sometimes as packing.Got quite a bit in the garage along with some other thicker stuff from a site i worked on years ago.Passed some onto the lads at the games club and they made hills and such.

 Just been cutting a couple of pieces up this weekend to make an underground layout for 15mm miniatures.

By the sound of it pink/blue foam has had its day in the building trade for materials that have better thermal insulation properties. I've noticed that in the late 90s the stuff was cheapish but with UK government guide lines for new home for more Eco friendly houses and the carbon footprint reduction and the like it more than doubled in price. So it's still being produced and used for art and crafts which is a small income compared  to the building industry so will manufactures increase the price  to cover the loss of earnings or drop it as it's being used in different areas?
