ENSURE YOU USE A GOOD STRAIGHT EDGE TO CUT (oops caps) against.... as gaps between boards will almost practically negate the insulations. Always cut the boards a few mm wider than the gap as the timbers will shrink over time.... assuming your putting them between timbers.

I iona.tom Guest 21 Nov 2008 #6 jigsaw gives a very tidy cut with little effort but buckets of dust if plasterboard is attached
