  • Loft insulation...
    Recently had a loft conversion done. Eaves made available for storage, and there's building-regs-compliant insulation between the eaves wall and the loft room, but they left us the eaves to insulate. I've laid down standard insulation (and some boards for a storage space) and put a couple of sheets of perspex over a single-glazed window, but wondering about the best way to insulate the external wall?
    For a start there are clear holes where you can see daylight, which I thought I could just plug with some foam? And are there any easy DIY solutions for boarding over the brickwork or should I just make do with plugging the gaps?

  • Is your loft ventilated to the outside world without going via the eaves? If so, plugging the gaps might make sense. Essentially the eave is a 'cold loft' though, right? If so you'd get more returns further isolating it from the loft conversion and rooms below.

  • The loft has been converted to a spare room/office that gets daily use. Has a large window over dormer plus 3x Velux on same side as eaves.
