Hi All,
Starting a new build and am so confused about insulation, probably the most important part of the build. Any advise welcomed.
The blocks I will be using is standard 4" solids and I guess the standard cavity is between 100 -110mm, my question is would much have to change in order to have a wider cavity lets say 120mm or 130mm? Would the extra width mean different foundations, more pressure on weight of roof etc. I was thinking of going with the pumped insulation in the walls, however I have no idea even after reading posts here of which type to go for? If I did decide to go with pumped insulation is there then a need to dryline the walls?
Also what kind of insulation do you need in the floors, the house is a bungalow, the guy doing my groundwork has not mentioned insulation is it standard to put insulation in the floor.
Roof insulation then is another question would you be better to use pumped or rolls of sheeps wool? I really am confused!!!
