September 16, 20215 yr Looking for some advice on what would be the best material and way to insulate these. Looking at the build up I have about 25 mm this includes the skim coat, this will take it to about halfway across window frame and I wouldn’t want to go any further than that. Regards. James
September 16, 20215 yr Author There is a little, wasn’t sure how much ld need to prevent cold bridging. Was thinking some sort of material over the full triangle area to prevent to much heat loss in rooms.
September 17, 20215 yr I think the only material that's of any use at that thickness would be aerogel.
September 17, 20215 yr This problem is the main reason I did not want dormers on my build, aesthetically i like them but well insulated dormers can be very chunky and ugly. Although a cold bridge it’s not a huge area
September 17, 20215 yr Author Was looking at the aerogel but I have six cheeks to do and that stuff is very expensive, was hoping for something a little cheaper.
September 17, 20215 yr XPS would do it too, I used some 10mm in our bathroom reveals just to get a wee bit more condensation protection.
September 17, 20215 yr Author Trying to find 12mm celotex near me and in stock not a chance. Been looking at XP’s and other makes of thin foam some on amazon and tile places,as you say anything is going to give it better protection. Regards. James
September 17, 20215 yr Author So with this there is no need for plaster board? Plaster straight to it. Have you had any experience using this material and have you any links to it, wouldn’t want wrong stuff so many likeness/ copies of things nowadays. Regards. James
September 17, 20215 yr Polystyrene wallpaper? It's a couple of mil thick, you could stick up a few layers then plaster board. Not as good as the other stuff mentioned, but might be available
September 17, 20215 yr No experience with this., just seen it online. You can defiantly render onto it directly, with breathable plasters and paint ideally,althought you might be ok with conventional materials given the placement in the structure.
