So, a quick glance at current building regs for Scotland shows that things have changed a bit since I last looked! I helped my Dad with a self build in the 90s and at that time the standard way of putting up a house involved 100mm stud walls with exterior cladding of your choice. No worries.
Now it seems I will need to have a 300mm wall if I still want to use rockwool, how the heck do you build one of those?!
Is it basically obligatory now to use rigid insulation for new builds?
Or can you build a sort of hollow box for a wall using osb or ply?
An idiot's guide would be great to get me back up to speed...
