Cavan insulation board manufacturer Ballytherm sues insurer over damage claims refusal; claims already exceed €6.5m

A company manufacturing underfloor insulation boards is suing its insurer over an alleged refusal to indemnify it for claims arising out of shrinkage of its product.

Ballytherm of Ballyconnell, Co Cavan, says it is facing claims for damage to properties due to the shrinkage which it says is significantly due to a change in a chemical blend a Dutch firm supplied for making the boards.
