20 mm is available, but it seem only from packaging companys in large quantities.  Has it got to be 20mm--what are you using it for?

i'm replacing all the rotten bits at front and sides of my van,thought it would be easier just to scrape old polystyrene sheets and fit new ones due to the uneven surface.

may have to get 25mm and cut it down but really dont want to do that if at all possibble.

can double them up but it's the amount of bonding agent needed to stick it all together.

have been considering using spray expanding foam whereby i would build it up slightly with panels that i can remove once set.

also found this which will prob be my first choice tho

You could try anywhere that sells Celotex. It's a common building material so should be available in Scotland.
