WWilts Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Builder thinks loft insulation spilling over into soffit space should be sufficient for heat insulation purposes. Is that true? Cavity closer will be fire sock Rockwool. Except where two small lintels are close together. Between those lintels (~50mm gap), builder proposes to use foam to close the cavity. Will foam suffice to keep EPS beads in the cavity when they are pumped in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyshouse Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 NO! In the illustration it is only possible to have a maximum of 95mm over the corner of the wall plate. I have 400mm in that location ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
