Hey all,
First time poster so take it easy on me!
Converting a detached garage to a playroom/ office and am having issues with making it building regs compliant (will be notifying council etc) whilst trying to avoid massively compromising ceiling heights.
In terms of U values, the roof needs to achieve .18.
Basically, if I install a traditional “warm”’ flat roof with Kingspan 130mm insulation or similar, the roof buildup from the bottom of the plasterboard to the external surface will be circa 300mm.
Ideally, I would need this to be as close to 225mm as possible so I would end up with a floor to ceiling height of c 2.15m.
What I need is some sort of high density, high performance insulation that does the same as the “off the shelf” products in terms of u value but is only approx half the thickness.
I appreciate if any such product exists it will be more expensive but willing to take the hit.
I’ve tried to source online myself but not having much luck. My roofer hasn’t been much held either if I’m honest...
