Products & Applications

Formed some 16 years ago, Seconds & Co. have carved out a niche market supplying everyone from the end user to large builder's merchants chains and distributors with manufacturers' seconds in Kingspan rigid foam insulation boardS.

From our small beginnings, selling 25,000 square metres a year, the business has grown hugely, and we now sell over 600,000 square metres of insulation boards a year.

We have huge stocks of all types of rigid foam boards and in certain cases we will be the only people to have small quantities of certain products in stock and ready to go.

Boards are classed as seconds for a number of cosmetic reasons.

The best quality seconds may have slight tapering on the edge, folds in the foil face or a very slight bow. Many are trial runs, written-off stock or boards purchased from sites by ourselves due to over ordering.

There are obviously different qualities from the best although some 80% of our stock comes under the 'best' classification. Lower grades will have more edge damage.

We do however sell by the square metre, and whatever grade, we always make sure you have enough good board to do your job.

We offer a nationwide delivery service on any quantity. The only stipulation is that small quantities will sometimes take longer to get to you.

Technical advice is available from people who have spent over 40 years in total in the insulation industry, and 16 years dealing solely in seconds rigid foam. We've seen nearly every application.

Price differentials between first quality and seconds can be anything between 10% and 60% depending on quantity, thickness, quality and faces.
