  • Insulation: Keep it wrapped if possible and store it in a clean, dry and ventilated space.
  • Sheet timber (plywood, MDF, OSB, etc.): Always store flat on level bearers or supports, off the ground and out of direct rain or sunlight. Pre‑installation acclimatisation in a dry area for 48–72 hours is recommended.
  • Cement and mortar: Keep bags dry and elevated (best on on pallets or wooden boards).
