Help! Wall insulation
I have been lumbered with a porch on our ground floor flat with two
external masonry walls (one course of bricks). To make the room habitable I need to install floor, wall, and probably roof insulation (flat, cold roof). So far I have applied a bitumenous damp proofing to the concrete slab, and lined these walls with a treated timber frame 100mm thickness (with a gap between it an the external walls varying from 10mm to 100mm due to the curved wall). My question is- how can I best insulate these external walls? I was thinking masonry DPM timber frame with insulation inserted in between timbers. Will this be adequate for warmth and the building inspector? Rockwool cavity seems to be a good balance between quality and value although I'm not sure it is suitable for insertion between the timbers like I plan. Please provide some guidance. Many thanks Daniel |
