Hi,
I'm currently going through planning process and all going well i will be able to start shortly. I had been intending to use an ICF system or maybe a well insulated timber frame (approx u value - 0.17) but after talking to a friend who has recently built i am undecided.
I am curious as to whether someone could advise on u values of the following system;
Masonry block on edge - externally finished with standard plaster / skim
120 mm blown insulation cavity
masonry block on flat - internally finished with plaster / skim.
I was also toying with idea of finishing ground floor perimeter walls with insulated plasterboard but cost will dictate.
Thanks in advance.
