For various reasons I’ve built a ‘double’ gable end stud wall from timber. Post from 2 Mar 2024 says why I came to double up.
The inner stud I’ll fill with cellotex to get the required U-value and provide something of a vapour barrier.
This leaves the outer stud and cavity gap – a great opportunity to add some extra insulation!
I’d like something that’s flexible, relatively cheap and, critically, rated to sit behind OSB on an external tiled wall. U-value isn’t a big driver for me – it’s all additional to the requirements. Can anyone suggest a good product for this?
I was thinking about standard loft insulation (example) but don't think it's rated to be on an external wall.
Thanks in advance
