How Materials Market Transformed the Building Supply Industry
The original members Every day, Samuel and Andrew fought an uphill struggle as buyers for a small roofing contractor, trying to ensure that construction materials arrived at the site on schedule and within budget. In order to do this, I had to call each supplier individually to verify availability, negotiate prices, and complete orders. It was nearly impossible to find a provider that met all of the requirements for each order, despite the abundance of options. I wish there was a way to contact them all simultaneously.
Samuel and Andrew hatched the idea for a website in a Camden Japanese restaurant. Their goal was to unite a disjointed network of suppliers and offer wholesale and do-it-yourself clients reasonable costs, quick deliveries, and excellent service. They reasoned that if the suppliers banded together, they could produce a better proposal than what any one of them could provide on their own.
Materials Market came into existence after a number of years of diligent work. With just a whiteboard, a whippet and an idea, Andrew launched Materials Market in the back bedroom of his North London apartment two years ago. Now, the company has grown into a national leader in online building material supply, serving thousands of customers and generating sales for supply chain partners nationwide. Materials Market is committed to providing its suppliers and customers with the greatest possible purchasing and selling experience. Their team consists of dedicated sales people, software developers, and general believers in this cause.
Insulation Boards: The Cornerstone of Efficient Construction
Kingspan Insulation, EcoTherm Insulation, Celotex Insulation are some of the leading brands of insulation boards which they offer here at Materials Market. Made of materials such as PIR or foam plastics, they are great thermal solution for construction and refurbishment. Their range comprises of boards which are suitable for floor, wall, loft, roof and many other structural members.
25mm EcoTherm Eco-Versal PIR Insulation Board 2400mm x 1200mm
In order to reduce one’s impact on the environment and, consequently, one’s electricity bill, it might be useful to fit EcoTherm 25 mm insulating boards. These PIR boards, which contain no fibres, are manufactured with a blowing agent that does not deplete the ozone layer and has low GWP. The lambda value of the model is quite impressive with a value of 0. 022 W/mK, these lightweight boards have a foam insulation core with outer layers of aluminium foil composite. Due to their versatility they can be used on floors and walls, on ceilings and on pitched roofs in new buildings as well as in buildings undergoing renovation.
100mm Celotex GA4100 PIR Insulation Board 2400mm x 1200mm
Versatile and high performing, 100mm Celotex GA4100 insulation offers better thermal efficiency, comfort and a lower carbon footprint and energy bills. The 2. 4 x 1. 2 metre PIR boards are manufactured with a blowing agent with low GWP which ensures that they do not harm the ozone layer. These boards have a thermal conductivity of as low as 0. 022 W/mK due to the low emission foil coatings on the two sides of the multilayer spacer. Therefore, they offer excellent thermal efficiency, and, in many cases, outperform other insulation materials in the market. For new constructions or even for the refurbishment, 100mm Celotex GA4100 is a reliable product for roofs, floors, walls and timber joists.
100mm Recticel Eurothane GP PIR Insulation Board 2400mm x 1200mm
People are looking for means and ways on how to conserve energy and how to best utilize the gas and electricity that they are paying for as prices of energy continue to go up. Slash your heating bill and stop heat from escaping without effort with 100mm Recticel Eurothane GP Insulation Board. This thermal solution is a BBA certified PIR insulation board of high performance which has several possibilities of application in the construction.
The thermal conductivity of 100mm Recticel Eurothane boards is 0. It has a thermal conductivity of 0. 022 W/mK, which ranks it together with Kingspan and Celotex. It offers the same outstanding thermal performance for various purposes including floors, pitched roofs, ceilings, and so on, as well as foundations.
75mm Celotex GA4075 PIR Insulation Board 2400mm x 1200mm
The GA4075 insulating board in 75mm Celotex offers the highest level of thermal efficiency that you can rely on. These multilayered panels have low-emissivity foil facings of 2. 4m x 1. 2m PIR boards enhance the insulation by a very large measure, especially where the air space is hermetically sealed. These boards are designed to conform to construction regulations while not taking up much internal volume due to thermal conductivity of only 0. 022 W/mK. They are used in the storage of heat within a structure.
The 75mm Celotex GA4075 is carefully manufactured with an ozone-unfriendly blowing agent that has a low GWP. It has a rigid polyurethane foam core. It is ideal for use on floors, partitions, solid masonry walls, and roofs due to the following features of the insulation board. It has a compressive strength of 140 kpa, is resistant to water vapour and has excellent thermal insulating properties. The GA4075 is one of the most typical and, at the same time, versatile products in the Celotex family that can ensure stable performance in various construction projects. This is one of the six thicknesses that are contained in the GA4000 product range.
120mm Celotex XR4120 PIR Insulation Board 2400mm x 1200mm
Celotex XR4120 insulation board is one of the 120mm thick insulation board that has good thermal resistance in order to reduce heat flow. The models in the XR4000 series are more than 100mm thick, and the name ‘Extra Resistance’ is indicative of better insulation. These CCMs use low GWP and ODP blowing agents in their production and are thus preferred in the market. 4m x 1. 2m boards are made of the rigid polyisocyanurate (PIR) and come laminated with foil.
The 120mm Celotex XR4120 also meets the U-values and at the same time has a minimum thickness which is guaranteed to meet current and future Building Regulations owing to its low thermal conductivity of 0. 022 W/mK. This versatile multipurpose insulating board can be used in roof, wall and floor systems to offer a dependable technique of enhancing the energy performance of building works.
Materials Market: Revolutionizing the Building Supply Industry
The idea that formed the basis of the business, known as Materials Market, was conceived by the two friends Samuel and Andrew as a way of creating order out of the chaos that was the building materials industry. Their dream was to create a web site which would be the central place where providers could collaborate and deliver better offers. Materials Market was initially a small business operating from an apartment in North London. It has grown to become a national force in the construction supply market offering insulating boards from Kingspan, EcoTherm and Celotex and many others.
Materials Market has transformed the way the building materials are sourced and supplied, through customer satisfaction, timely delivery and environmental friendly ways. They have raised the bar in the industry as a result. Its sustained success as the paragon of what can be achieved when innovative thinking is supported by sheer determination has been to the advantage of businesses and consumers.
