    Hi all,
    I'm currently at the subfloor level of a new bulid. 2 story 2900 sq ft. Air to water heating. I'm torn over building in 110mm quinntherm insul board or pumping the 150mm cavity at the end. All suggestions would be appreciated.

    I went with a pumped cavity in the end. Drylining on external walls and foam in the attic with wool aswell. Also went with air to water and a heat recovery system. Warm house so far!
