Do I need insulation at a gable end

[BobbyBrown]

hi all,

The front of my 1920's house is North facing and the gable end is simply horizontal pieces of wood. Can I / do I need to insulate this from the inside? If so what product would you recommend.

Thanks.

I assume you mean in the loft space. If so no need to insulate.

If the inner side part of a room, yes you do need to insulate... The construction detail can be tricky you will need a vapour control barrier also. The type and thickness will depend on a number of things. If not done correctly you could have problems. Suggest you seek professional advice.
