Haha, how’s this for rigid insulation??
Still waiting on the tin sheets for the roof showing up.. we’re meant to arrive last week and then again on Monday.. been told now they’ll be in Kirkwall tomorrow or Saturday but we’ve been told that before..
@Technics100 I underestimated!
The roof is packed now with 6 inch rigid insulation between all the legs and it’s still to to be overboarded with another 2 inch rigid board before the battens and plasterboard.They’ve had things to do but the roof not arriving has really limited what they can do internally so no plasterboard or anything for a while yet..
The joiner has also popped up a wee test square of the cladding to see how it does in the wet. The cement board for the exterior has still to be ordered (the builder needs many nudges..) and I think he’s just wary of putting all the larch up before everything is there to get it all finished and closed off externally..?

Great.. that should keep you toasty.. we would generally use 100mm between and 60mm below rafters.. I remember doing my roof space about 13 years ago and using 65mm total between the rafters.. it was the warmest room in the house..

Going to be nice and toasty in there. I’ve just bought a load because the price seems to go up by 3% every week.
I’m glad the joiner is doing the bits in our roof space. I cut it all for the underfloor heating and even with a mask on, it’s horrible stuff.

Jesus - that’s a lot of rigid insulation. Bloody expensive stuff as I found out recently.
Have you turned your underfloor heating on yet? I put ours on last week and the tradesmen were very happy with me.
