I'm also finding it difficult to find an installer with suitable knowledge in the Reading (Berkshire) area. Many insulation companies offer PIR insulation, or spray on insulation, with no mention of airtightness membranes and hygroscopic materials. I have considered doing it myself, which would help a lot financially but at the end of the day I want it to be done once and done right, and I haven't done any of this kind of stuff before. I was wondering if anyone can recommend any nationwide installers that would do a good job on this?]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17860&Focus=301928#Comment_301928 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17860&Focus=301928#Comment_301928 Fri, 09 Jun 2023 21:54:38 +0100 tony http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17860&Focus=301973#Comment_301973 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17860&Focus=301973#Comment_301973 Tue, 13 Jun 2023 09:24:17 +0100 billyb_1234 Posted By: tonyHow deep is your void?

I could not find anybody willing to install underfloor insulation, so had a (very good) handyman lift the flooring on Friday, I installed insulation over the weekend, and he replaced the flooring on the Monday.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17860&Focus=302028#Comment_302028 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17860&Focus=302028#Comment_302028 Mon, 19 Jun 2023 09:52:05 +0100 tony
Certainly you should insulate well which for means U=0.1 or better]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17860&Focus=302113#Comment_302113 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=17860&Focus=302113#Comment_302113 Thu, 22 Jun 2023 22:51:27 +0100 billyb_1234 Posted By: OspreyIf you are having UFH installed, underfloor insulation is not a 'might as well', it is essential for any sorry of good result.

Between rooms, I guess you just overlap the membrane at the threshold and join with double sided tape.]]>
