    You've just saved me 500 quid on insulation materials, compared to Wickes prices ...and that was only for a single wall and a ceiling. Thank you!

    Battening out under final layer of insulation to plasterboard fixing centres gives a slightly better u-value and also easier for fixing plasterboard (less chance of hit and miss when you're on your own) and screws don't need to be as long. Taping the joints with aluminium tape will give you the vapour barrier.
    By the way, I'm head of building control in local authority and you do a better job than some of the "pro's" I inspect!

    • @TheRestorationCouple
      @TheRestorationCouple  5 лет назад +3

      Original plan was to batten and create service void. We did so on the loft rooms and works well, especially when it comes to screws. In this instance I just taped them pb as only cables ran along below in conduit anyway. Good to hear we’re doing ok! 👌

Your videos on wall and roof insulation were excellent, whilst the climate here is quite mild, the ceiling insulation i'm installing is to keep the summer heat out more then anything, thanks for a great channel....

      Vapour barrier is the lowest side/warm side only, foil in this case. You could stick sheepswool, newspaper, mineral wool or whatever between joists so long as you meet u value and have vapour barrier on warm side which could be as simple as polythene. I go into it more in next vid. 👍

    For those wishing to avoid the use of a straight edge, simply drag the tape measure hook across the facing to strike a line to cut along.
    Also, question: Is there a reason you installed blocking on level? This required screwing on interior angles. I've only ever staggered blocking which enables end fixing (I always frame with nails rather than screws.

      Insulation just stops heat transfer so yes it will be cooler in summer which is a win too. Having spent many winters stood on a cold concrete floor with the wind blowing through it will be great to be able to warm the space while it’s a workshop.

    • @TheRestorationCouple

  • @krissybufton
    @krissybufton 5 лет назад +1

    Def need an air gap on walls and roof. If the garage is going to become a habitable room 50mm Inbetween stud and 25 on top is nowhere near enough. Our building control want 90mm inbetween (4x2 cls stud work) then 25 on top.

    • @TheRestorationCouple
      @TheRestorationCouple  5 лет назад +1

      U value is the same for the whole country. In a renovation scenario 60mm between and 25 is fine for BC for walls. 100mm and 25mm under fine for roof. So does get signed off as habitable but for us it’s outside of the main house so limited returns for insulating to the max. Within the house 100 between and 50 over. 👍 and yes air gaps for cold roof.

    I know a warm roof adds to the overall depth of the roof but considering that you just lay the insulation boards over the rafters and depending on the roof coverings you may not need the osb board decking this saves hours of cutting all those boards between the rathers/joists and then installing yet another layer under the rathers/joists. You also dont need to install a ventilated soffit to achieve the airflow between the roof and insulation just a flush fitted fascia. This is in no way a criticism of your job Tim as i know the additional height was an issue for you plus i have to say that your workmanship puts a lot of so called professionals to shame.

    • @TheRestorationCouple

      Just dirt from being sat in their yard as many are returns from sites. No mould fortunately. 👍

    Next time try cut those boards with utility knife along straight edge score and snap. Much easier and zero debris.

    Have I missed if you’ve explained your roof (cold or hot?) ventilation gap (if any) and your thought process behind that?

      LoveAdventures was thinking the same I just done a bedroom sealing in 150mm rock wool sound deadening insulation and I’ve done every wall in 60mm too, I have done what this guy has done , and completely filled the rafters my walls didn’t quite meet the sealing so I imagined they did and filed the 1 foot gap between wall and ceiling with insulation too it is completely sound proofed but he mentioned leaving an air gap so air could cerculate through the rafters in the last viddie which got me worried, but didn’t l can’t see that he has left any air gaps so now I’m not sure what to do the ceiling isn’t plastered yet so I could take it back down

      Just checked back through ‘building flat roof - timbers are up’ Tim chats about leaving 50mm airflow along rafters and uses noggins between the rafters that don’t go all the way up to the roof decking to achieve this. His insulation is only 100mm thick I think and the rafters are 150mm high, so 50mm air gap above insulation.

      I do get the principle of cold and hot robes. However, what I still can’t get my head around is if there is an internal vapour barrier, surely vapour never gets into the rafter space, so why the need to have ventilation?

      LoveAdventures so if I haven’t left a gap anywhere in the walls or ceilings what’s the worst that could happen ? It’s super warm and sound profed my home used to be a flat room and 30 yrs later someone added an
      A framed roof on top of it
