Going to put the solid boards (cellotex ?) in the floors but use the bats on rolls for walls and ceiling mate, saves her about €700 that way ? Still leave 25mm gap in the walls do you advise ?

I think you can get away with complete fill with the rolls mate but dont 100% take my word for it.I only know about leaving a gap with cellotex in timber frames after helping a pal do a flat roof on an extension I did the groundwork and block work on the other week 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I clad the inside of my bar with cut down pallet wood, it looks really authentic and is easy to use/cheap To get the head room I’m going to vault the ceiling and clad it in T&G but I’ll strip vent the eves and make sure there’s air flow over everything. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you can vent the ridge too it will allow air to flow right through.What are you using on the roof? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NEWKID 27,131 Posted September 18 Report Share Posted September 18 Word of advice mate, don't just put insulation between roof joists and then roof straight on top, you'll have cold spots over the joists that will condensate.. you need to insulate above the joists as well, can be a lesser thickness but will prevent condensation mate, we've been to a few "leaks" that are due to this.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What do you reckon lads ? If it was me.. I'd keep the joists exposed as a feature, ply over the top and then insulate above the ply, either with a hard celotrx type insulation or use small roof zeds (metal) and insulate between with cladding roll... (That would be cheaper)... When your closer I'll send you typical details mate, send me your email address again and I'll send you some info so it works... If not a busman's holiday is on the cards!
