Gable wall Insulation

[Nulty]

Hi folks,

Im insulating the loft and have got to the gable wall. the house is semi and the wall is on the neighbours side. How do I go about insulating this wall because their loft is un converted and will leak heat heavily.

Im using the kingspan batts for the roof but I may use fibreglass for the wall, cant really afford any more of the kingspan.

My question is really, does a structure need to be built at the gable wall to recieve the insulation or what?

Im at a loss here myself. Any suggestions welcome!

kingspan may work out cheaper by the time you have built a stud cradle for the fiberglass.
if space is at a premium then kingspan will win hands down.

Thanks for the reply but im not sure where your coming from.

I get that a stud cradle needs building.

Do i still need the cradle if im using kingspan? i cant think of another way to fit the insulation to the gable without a cradle - kingspan or not.

never heard of foam fix?

clicky

if you are still nervous about using foam fix, insulation backed plasterboards can be dot 'n' dabbed to the wall also.
