Contract extension

Specialist in elastomeric thermal insulation products Armacell, has secured a contract extension until the end of 2013 to supply British Gas. The agreement maintains Armacell as the 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 new 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. "As the only UK elastomeric insulation manufacturer 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," he says.
