hi all,
I write this a broken man. I am currently 12 months into building a 4 bed dormer bungalow. I have been involved a great deal from the wind and watertight stage. i.e carpentry, electrics, plasterboard and insualtion etc. I am living on site in a caravan so I get the convenience of early starts and late nights. Its been enjoyable so far.............. Until.... CELOTEX!!!!!!!!
I have trawled this site again and again looking for hints and tips on the installation of it and I cant find any.
This is the closest I have been to admitting failure so please someone tell me that this job can be done without me taking my blood pressure to extremes.
Best way to cut it
how to get absolute accuracy...I cant live with the gaps if I measure to small
install it in 8' or 4' lengths
Do I insualte the full length of the rafter or can I insulate the upstand supporting the rafter - fed up crawling into the dead space to try and fit it.
Any other hints and tips would be appreciated
Oh, and I had planned to use tri iso quilt but at the last minute the
BC said that it has to be used with 70mm celotex aswell to meet the regs - whats the point in that - the whole idea behind tri iso I imagine was the massive labour saving compared to Celotex. Anyone else heard of this
thanks
