About us
The objectives of EPIC (Engineered Panels In Construction) are to promote the use and knowledge of the benefits of insulated panels and to ensure the ready availability of technical information both in the use of insulated panels and their performance over their complete life cycle. EPIC provides up-to-date guidance through a range of Technical Guides covering regulatory requirements, energy conservation and fire performance and end of life. Guides are available in a pdf format that can be easily downloaded from the EPIC website. EPIC guides are prepared using the extensive knowledge and experience of EPIC member companies and with the additional help and guidance from a range of specialist consultants according to the subject. Wherever possible the Guides include supporting evidence from research, case studies and independent testing. Guidance for regulators. EPIC represents the insulated panel industry in the UK and is a major contributor on a number of government consultative working groups, particularly in the areas of energy conservation; fire regulation; waste and life cycle analysis and sustainability. The EPIC management team is drawn from the major manufacturers of rigid urethane products who supply over 90% of panels produced in the United Kingdom.

Did you know that high quality insulated panels can often be reused when a building is dismantled, particularly on industrial and agricultural buildings? But, where reuse in its entirety isn’t possible, the steel facings can be readily recycled, with the shredded core often being turned into a source of energy from waste.

The closed cell structure within the PIR core prevents moisture absorption or dew-point condensation in the panels themselves. This makes them preferable to products such as mineral wool as they prevent moisture becoming trapped and frozen within the core, risking the structural integrity of the facility.
