kingspan

Hi, I am starting a campervan conversion project and am wondering the best way to go about installing an insulated floor. If I was to use 25mm Kingspan and 18mm plywood on top would there be any issues with compression? The Kingspan datasheet has the 25mm at 140kpa @ 10%. This seems high enough...

Folks, Going to fit some insulation into a stud wall in a bedroom with a roof space behind it. Studs are 75mm. Question is should I just fit 75mm PIR and tape between kingspan and studs, or just get 100mm to maximise the insulation ican get... There is no issues with space behind the stud so...

Hi, This winter has highlighted how cold my concrete floors are down stairs. Has anybody used Kingspans insulation and overboarded it to warm up a cold house? If so, is it any good? How did you do it?

Hi, Newbie here when it comes to plumbing so apologies if what I'm asking is stupid. I've moved into a new build house which has an indirect vented hot water cylinder, supplied from mains and heated via a boiler. Traditionally I've always been used to combi boilers and when needing to do any...

I've got a 1950's cavity wall that has been injected with loose insulation. Unfortunately it's still quite cold so I want to add some 25mm kingspan to the interior walls. If I were to dot and dab the insulation board, do I need to be concerned about damp/structural issues? It's for a...

The loftspace above my kitchen is cold/ventillated. As a result, the kitchen is very cold. There is currently loose rockwool there. I'm considering adding 100-150mm solid insulation above the rafters so that I can better insulate the ceiling and also lay loft-flooring on top, for light storage...

We're redoing an existing loft conversion since it was completed by the former owner without insulation. I've drawn out this diagram of the cold roof approach. We wanted 100mm Kingspan between rafters + 25mm Kingspan under the rafters. But that would only leave an air gap of 16mm behind. In the...

Hi This is slightly different to question raised before on this forum I have batten two external walls of a room using damp proof membrane between wood and wall. Between the battens is 25mm foil covered insulation batts. On top of this will be 62.5mm Kingspan K118 insulated plasterboard...

I intend to pack my subfloor joists with 100mm Recticel PIR and double tape for vapour barrier then 18mm ply. To create a fully sealed floor I will need to push the PIR between the outer joist and inner leaf which has a DPC at mid joist level and the wall below is damp. My question is whether...

Hi all, as the last response to concrete question/underfloor heating question was helpful thought I'd check my understanding of insulation. I'm renovating a 3 bed end of terrace house to live in. Downstairs has had an RSJ installed and become open plan. Doing this with my brother an electrician...

Hi there, I’m currently renting a mid-terrace house with some friends. The top floor consists of two attic rooms and a landing, which are all freezing. Both bedrooms have access to the eaves, and after crawling around inside, it turns out that most of it is uninsulated, apart from about 30mm of...

Hi all, I was wondering if you would be able to help me. I am trying to insulate my master bedroom as during the winter it gets extremely cold. Our house is a chalet shape and so the internal bedroom ceiling has pitched either side and then small cupboard doors leading into the eaves of the...

Can I use 19mm battens with a covering of expanding foam between them and 9.5mm plasterboard on top for insulating a wall where space is tight? Is it even worth 19mm batten depth for the gains of the foam. Dot and dab would be ideal for space but I feel like we're missing out not insulating...

Hi... my kingspan solar hot water system and range tribune unvented cylinder is making a weird groaning/jet engine noise when the system modvlvs pump is circulating, is this normal? .. any ideas what it could be or advice? Both getting serviced end of may and not noticed it until the sunny...

I have a garage (detached from house) that is of single skin brick construction (no damp course) on top of a concrete slab. I want to partition the garage to create a small office/workshop and as such want to insulate it so i can use it all year round but I'm keen to avoid mould / damp issues. I...

Hi all, Im buying a house which currently has an internal garage as part of an extension, we want to convert it to a guest bedroom / cinema room. We have had some quotes but they have ranged from £15000 to £25000 which seems a little costly. I happy to do work myself and get tradesman in to do...

Hi there folks. I'll try and put as much detail as I can with the hope of it helping.... I live in a mid terraced 1960 built house and have always had problems with damp on the front wall of the house. I eventually took the step of taking the plaster back to the brick and pulled the floor up to...
