Are insulation materials safe from fire risk?

Dear Sir/Madam,
We got a quotation from one of your listed insulation suppliers. They are going to put fibreglaas on our roof, rigid polyester board under the floor and polythene sheeting under house. Are all these three materials safe from fire risk?
Thanks

Hi David
Yes, all products are safe to use and do not increase the risk of fire or are flammable in themselves. Plastics such as polystyrene and PVC will give off dense fumes on combustion, but this is in the context of a house fire, when the rest of the house is burning. They are approved in the EECA programme, so if these products are your preferred option, go ahead and get them installed
