Vapour barrier in loft conversion...
Hi All,
We're in the process of insulating our loft conversion, something the builders that performed the conversion didn't seem to think was necessary - in Scotland. To do this we've been taking down the plasterboard on the walls and pitched part of the ceilings and putting XtraTherm (which appears to be a Celotex clone) between the studs. This is an old stone house with wooden rafters forming a pitched, slated roof. First room we did was the bathroom and f*ck me if we weren't too stupid to remember to put a vapour barrier in before putting the new plasterboard up over the insulation. D'Oh! I guess we really need to get some vapour barrier in. Is there an alternative to pulling out the plasterboard, stapling up polythene and putting the more plasterboard up? Replies don't have to be sypathetic. Cheers - Adam... |
