Hi everybody. I'm still renovating a 100+ years old house (last room now) and have a query on the type of insulation to use. One of the chimney breast alcoves is on the corner of the house and so is very cold-(2 outer walls, solid 9" brickwork). It also has the gas meter and associated pipework, so I have battened it out to cover the pipes and allow for insulation before plaster boarding. I was going to stuff in some fibrous insulation, making it easy to get round the pipe and wiring but I've been told it will eventually sink to the bottom of the space and so I should use the more solid type. Does anyone have any views on this?
Thanks
Keith
