Thanks for the reply. Would it be okay to put insulation plasterboard from inside and be done with it? Thanks

So from the bottom up you see the joists then ferrerings, then 18mm plywood, then 100mm insulation, then 18mm OSB board which has EPDM rubber on it. I can't see any vapor barrier and the plastered board is standard as in not foiled back....

Hey Guys, I've got a few magnetic contacts that I wanted to fit onto the windows but as I have UPVC windows its going to be very difficult to get these to line up as there is a big difference, I've got a few packers but even they don't seem to cut it. Any recommendations or should I swap this...

Hey Sparky, thanks you for pointing this out....got it, so I read its probably better to wire it EOL as it makes it easier when it comes to fault finding etc... So I've put a 4k7 resistor between the 2 alarms and a 2k between alarm and the first tamper as per the pic... please let me know if...
