Superquilt or equivalent-can it work here?

about2build · 2012-10-30 17:57:54

Looking to use superquilt or an equivalent product on a section of external wall under the plaster board. There will be no air gap and it will be compressed into the wall. If ye are wondering why im considering it it is because if I go with the insulated plaster board there will be a 40mm step when you pass into the hall…

If ye are wondering why im considering it it is because if I go with the insulated plaster board there will be a 40mm step when you pass into the hall where the external wall ends and that will look cat enough.....is it useable or workable in this instance? I have 150mm pumped cavity as well

Foil insulations need an air gap on both sides to work, without a gap if they are compressed into the wall they basically become conductors of heat (and cold). There would be a high risk of condensation as a result.
