Hi all,
We have a small extension with a vaulted ceiling. It’s cold in the winter - sometimes 12 degrees in the morning. It has large bifolds unsure how much heat these will be losing. The builder only allowed for 75 mm of floor insulation under the scree with can’t now be fixed. However I suspect the ceiling is possibly losing a lot of heat but would value any opinion. 12.5mm plasterboard was directly to the rafters so the only insulation is between the rafters - but with large gaps where down lights are installed.
Thinking about removing the downlights and installing the missing insulation there, and then overboarding the existing plasterboard with insulation backed plasterboard. Is this likely to make a significant difference? Can’t see any point of removing the existing plasterboard first.
Also adding another radiator!
