Styrofoam board / Aeroboard

Codswallop

Hi,

I was just wondering where I would be able to purchase sheets of styrofoam / aeroboard in Dublin? I tried Woodies and B&Q, no joy. Anything like the foil backed one in the picture below or even the normal sheets would be perfect - the thicker the better.



Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Try a builders providers rather than a diy place. I buy it by the bale 25 sheets - 1 inch (they also have 2 inch), no coating, for €33 in Morris's Builders Providers in Waterford, it should be readily available as it is used for insulating.

Incidentally Specialist Crafts in Galway have a Styro-cut 3D cutter for €185 which is very good (once you have assembled it :rolleyes:)

Thanks very much for the help. I tried another builders suppliers before reading htis but they specialise in woodworking - no joy again.
I will try a normal builders providers. Thanks again


Edit:
Found them at Smiths Builders Providers, Greenhills Road, Walkinstown. 1" or 2" thick, 4ftx6ft. Can be bought in bales or separately. It was like €28 or so for 7 of the 2" thick sheets.

You can buy aeroboard sheets in Chadwicks on Thomas St for very little. A sheet of around 120cm x 60cm x 1.5cm is around €1.50 (excluding VAT). They are open from 8 to 1 then 1.30pm to maybe 5? and they are open on Saturday mornings till 1.

I have loads of shets of this in my shed in Galway that i want to get rid of, anybody who wants to collect it can have it. Its 1'' thick i think and the sheet are about 4ft by 2ft i think (thats a guess) I must have about 20 sheets of it.
PM me if anybody fancies it.
