    Hello,I am currently building a new house..I have put 60mm kingspan in the cavity(as recommended by my engineer)The outside walls have been plastered, but the inside has not yet been plastered.Is it possible to fullfil with beads from the inside? I'm thinking it might be best to do this if I can.If not, what would you recommend?Thanks,E

    You wont be able to use bead insulation injected from the inside of the house.

    You will most likely have to "dry line" the inner side of the external walls as the amount of insulation in your cavity is seriously deficient. Talk to your engineer or BER assessor.

    We're using 70mm kingspan in cavity and 50mm drylining board inside - 100mm in floor and 12" fibreglass in attic - hoping this will do the job..

    Guys just read your queries above? I found this extremely helpful it gives a rough break down of the type of insulation and along with floors walls roofs and wat ur total BER rating would be! ( this is roughly not taking into account the other construction issues before people jump on the bandwagon ha :) ). Cheers

    Hey househouse, i might be picking this up wrong, but by fulfil with beads do you mean that you are going to pump the cavities? If so, why ? you already have kingspan in there.

    Just curious as im building at the mo and im thinking of my own cavity insulation....thinking of pumping the cavity
