Thermal or sound insulation?

 

Thermal more so. Rather than keep faffing cutting PIR offcuts and foaming them in I wondered whether to just staple the vcl on and fill as I go with beads:

Probably not - total lack of any technical info. High performance mineral wool would be best option.

 

Good shout other than I've got to BUY it! :) Was hoping to just use up the old crap lying around.

So you’ll get an old crap result ....

 

drilling a hole will see them pour out into the room ... good for You’ve been Framed, not so good for thermal insulation ...

 

Cheap seats here! OK, no EPS beads but all this "old crap" is going in the wall with copious amounts of gun foam and foil!

All that wood is going to give you more bridges than Amsterdam anyway.

 

I know. Tbh the packs aren't as numerous as they appear. Originally it was just 5 fixings per vertical stud but the concrete screws wouldn't hold very well in this bit of the wall. So in went some horizontal 3"x2"s fixed with resin studs.
