SBMS Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 We are looking at a brick and block construction with a 150mm cavity. What experience has everyone got with the above option and can anyone recommend a particular insulation method for a 150mm cavity? At the moment am favouring a blown in product as it’s guaranteed 100% coverage but would be interested to hear peoples thoughts on price and performance?

PeterW Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 EPS bead all the way as long as the brickies keep the cavity clean - easily done but they need to be watched so you dont get lots of mortar in the bottom of the cavities. Beads flow very well so you get a decent coverage. Batts need care when being installed and can end up with gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceverge Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 250mm EPS beads here. I would consider batts if I could put them in myself or use a trusted builder. There's a pretty comprehensive thread here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
