Building an extension at the moment and when its finished we intend pumping the walls with insulation. The exisiting walls have 60mm of aerboard,house is 11 years old.
The sales guy for premier insulation says foam fill is better than beads for walls with aeroboard as it is pumped in at 130 lbs per square inch,beads only pumped at 8 lbs,and says the foam will push the aeroboard against the wall and therefore fill the cavity completely,whereas the bead will not.
U value of platinum bead is .27,foam is .24,quoted 1750 for foam,already have quote for bead of 950.
Anyone have any experience of foam fill ?
