Help! I am getting an old bungalow re-furbished, god help me, but I have started so I will finish. I am slowly beconing an expert on things building(not really) but one thing that defeats me is this liking for sticking kingspan insulation on the inside of the external walls.
I now know the cavities are only 2 inches and when I fill them with those beads I wont get a lot of benefit. I am advised by my builder and plumber that I should go for this Kingspan insualtion stuff and pt it on the inside of the external walls. However, I have my doubts because I have read all the other posts and I want to have solid walls for nailing stuff. I also have 2 large windows in LR and one large in DR so amount of insualtion will be small. The quote is 4,000 euro for the whole lot. Now my plumber says all houses will be assessed for e vaues in the future and if I dont have this insulation my house will fail.
Do I need this jumper or no? My fear is that it throws up problems down the road and givse me more grief than it is worth. I intend to put in a good ch sytem solo rads etc.
