    Hi
    Had been looking through the forum and just wanted to get a very rough estimate of the price per sq metre for pumped foam insulation?

    Realise that this May be bit like asking how long is piece of string but any help is much appreciated.

    That doesn't make sense to me? Can you clarify?

    Do you mean per m3 of bead?(in which case the cavity size wouldnt matter).
    Per metre wall area (based on 150 cavity)(makes the most sense bit is a strange way for it to be priced).
    Or per metre floor space?

    150mm thick cavity x 1m x 1m - 0.150m3 = €13.90

    Or as i said 150mm thick cavity and per m2 = €13.90

    (Anyway Insulation is measured in ARM as m2, even though i realise this isn't board insulation for which i think they need to update ARM)

    Ok. So that's per metre wall space. Looking at around 2500 for the average 2000 sq foot house.

    13.90€ seems steep to me. I paid 9 euro per m/2 for graphite grey 27.
