Our History
We’re part of the Unilin Group
For over 30 years, Xtratherm was a market leader in the construction industry across the UK and Ireland, a name synonymous with the provision of quality insulation solutions for walls, floors and roofs.
We became part of the Unilin Group in 2016 and will adopt the Unilin name early in 2023. The evolution to Unilin Insulation signifies a unified brand, delivering more to customers in the UK and Ireland as part of a major European player in the construction industry.
