Superglass, one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of glass wool insulation, has secured coveted Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) verification for its Superwall Cavity Batts range, one of the first insulation products to have verification.
Developed by the Construction Products Association’s (CPA) Market Integrity Group, CCPI verification is awarded to products where information on performance is clear, accurate, accessible, up-to-date and unambiguous. CCPI certification is becoming increasingly important to specifiers and buyers who are looking for guarantees and safeguards of manufacturers’ data and product performance claims.
The CCPI was initiated by the Construction Product Association (CPA) as a direct response to Dame Judith Hackitt’s review of Building Regulations and Fire Safety set up in the wake of the Grenfell Tower tragedy. It is designed to drive a transformational step-change in product information management and marketing across the built environment, ensuring that marketing claims are evidence-based and substantiated to improve reliability and trust across the sector.
The Code is currently voluntary for companies to commit and sign up to. Superglass committed to the Code at the start of the year to demonstrate its pledge to being a trusted and reliable producer of glass mineral wool insulation, and its Superwall Cavity Batts are the first products in its range to achieve verification.
Superglass’s Cavity Batt range is also British Board of Agrément (BBA) approved and deemed non-combustible with a fire classification of Euroclass A1 (the highest possible rating) when tested to BS EN 13501-1 Reaction to Fire.
Tony Gordon, Head of Product Management at Superglass, said: “Superglass products are trusted by builders across the UK and Ireland for their reliability, quality, and compliance with building regulations. Having third party verification from CCPI of our product marketing claims deepens that trust for our customers.
“It’s fantastic to have our Superwall Cavity Batts verified by CCPI – one of the first insulation products in the UK market to achieve that – and we are in the process of securing the verification across our product range.”
In recent months, the company has also introduced a new u-value calculator, an easy-to-use tool that helps merchants and their customers understand the thermal performance of various insulation applications, and an advanced online Psi-value calculation service, where customers can instantly download the new Psi-value guide and a selection of the most used junction types for the Superwall Cavity Batt range.
Superglass is committed to being a trusted partner for its customers, and its new CCPI verification of the Superwall Cavity Batts range is demonstrative of this commitment in action.
