Hi all,
Just after building the shell of my house. Conventional build, standard block and cavity. I put in a 50mm kingspan board in the cavity. TW50, i think it is called.
However Spoke to someone last week and explaned that I was insulating the interior of the external walls with a 12mm plasterboard and 37 mm insulation board (total 50 mm thermaboard). I am going with UFH also. That then raised the issue of thermal mass, that I was reducing it by insulating the walls that are already insulated hence the house will cool down quicker. Also If i dryline the internal walls then the TW 50 already in the cavity will be rendered useless.
I would like you input on this one. Should I do the internal peremeter walls with this board or not.
Slighty confused as I do not want compromise on insulation, however I do not want to spend on it if it is not fully effective.
Thanks
