Roof going on soon, I need to decide which insulation material/system to use. It is included in main contract but spec says “160mm K7 or equivalent to give 0.20 W/m2K”. I am aware this is min building regs so will be upgrading ... Builder wants to use Actis (Hybris and H Control) to save labour cost. Kind of like the H Control as a continuous layer but not at all sure about Hybris! I don’t want to push for PIR because I know it will end up with loads of gaps and I can’t be there to supervise. Would 200mm loft roll be easy enough to install from the underside, ie. self supporting until plaster boarded or would we need to use batts? I have plenty of space for insulation between and below rafters; raised tie trusses with 360mm rafters! What is the best balance of benefit vs cost?

I'm putting a double glazed window in an elevation of my new kitchen/diner extension that abuts a neighbour's property. I have to comply with building regulations so as to provide thirty minute fire resistance. Can anyone point me towards some more information on this such as a technical (but not too technical!) description of what is required, please?

Getting prices for boarding and skimming. Eye watering prices but I should be getting used to that Guy that came Saturday said I had to have pink boards for all the ceilings to meet fire regs but I can't find reference to that anywhere - either in my architects notes or building regs. The only thing in the architects ontes is 30min resistance which AFAICS ordinary plaster board gives.
