About Us

Want better quality, natural, ecological building materials?

Do you want your dwelling to have better quality air?

Want to work with a company that puts 'you' and the building fabric first?

Welcome to Partel - High Performance Building supplies and much more. We are established in the UK, Ireland, and recently North America. We have a background in Engineering, Architecture and Building physics. We offer a wide range of high performance exterior/interior sealing tapes and membranes, aimed specifically at the low energy building sector. The company was founded by Hugh Whiriskey in 2011.

Through continuing technological developments we aim to improve the building fabric with the following associated improvements

• Reduce heating/cooling costs
• Avoid related structural damage
• Minimise pollutants for homeowners
• Achieve specified R/U values
• Reduced Noise
• Ventilation systems can achieve maximum efficiency

Partel have found that there is a growing demand for higher quality next generation building products, and believe that the focus will continue to move towards natural and sustainable product.

We also offer customised technical sales and provide support on all of our products from specification advice. We offer WUFI analysis, training, and onsite inspections. We believe we have a lot to offer to the modern Architect and builder.

Our product range can be described as next generation using monolithic technology for exterior membranes and tapes that are designed to last a lifetime.
Partel also supplies the Lunos range of humidity activated decentralised ventilation systems. This range includes the award winning Lunos e2, one of the smallest heat recovery ventilation units in the world. The Lunos e2 system is not only duct free but  can be used in both new and retrofit construction.

In addition, Partel offers the Schneider range of woodfibre insulation. "Schneider woodfibre is produced in one of the most modern factories in the world; the quality of the products is unparalleled," Whiriskey said. "They amazingly have a zero waste production plant." He explained that the woodfibre itself is produced from the by-products of timber production and that the waste from the insulation manufacturing process produces biomass that is then burned to power the plant (the equivalent of a population of 24 million).

Partel have also partnered with Epasit to bring the Epatherm range of calcium silicate insulation boards for use primarily in older buildings.

Whiriskey said that "As an Engineer with 20 years experience in construction I have found that there is a demand for higher quality building products, and that the focus will continue to move towards natural and sustainable products". "We offer customised technical sales and provide support on all of our products from specification advice, WUFI analysis, training, and onsite inspections. We believe we have a lot to offer to the modern builder.

In addition to low energy buildings we have large a number of NZEB, Passivhaus and Enerphit projects on our books which we believe is a reflection of the quality of our products and  services".
