Foam-backed plasterboard suppliers

I need some of this expensive stuff - about a dozen 4'x8' sheets at 60mm, plus other bits and pieces. Not easy to get hold of. Anyone know any suppliers? Thanks.

    Thank you - I am going to call a couple of local merchants. I already emailed one and got no reply.

    If I buy from Kingspan, I need type K17. However, I haven't found out the codes of other companies' products. I thought Celotex did something similar but their website just shows foam sheets with separate dry lining - very labour-intensive.

    Yes, they are far from cheap - my conscience is being stretched to the limit!

    This place do these with free delivery for 12 > £345.73

    They are only 50 mm though.

    Travis perkins also do gyproc thermaliner boards of varying depths but I don't think they go upto 60 mm.

    Maybe wrong though.

    Thank you. gyproc is a good cue: http://www.british-gypsum.bpb.com/immediacy-1294 might be the thing. Haven't got on very well with soundstop so far though - seems to be only acoustic panels, which generally aren't optimised for thermal insulation.

    Crikey I didnt think they did them that thickness,I've only ever used the thinner ones.
    We used them on external cold walls and mostly on the curved areas of the upstairs bedroom cielings where they go black with mildew because of condensing water.
    Anyway I hope you get fixed up allright.
