We are about to do the place up, and I'm thinking about insulation. For one room in particular, which is exposed on 3 sides (7m, 5m, 7m), internal insulation would be feasible, but I was wondering about filling the cavity with polystyrene beads. I believe that using PS beads should avoid problems with rainwater crossing the cavity, but I am wondering about cold spots inside, as presumably the inner and outer walls will be tied at regular intervals. Above this room is the roof, containing bedrooms. The house is large and appears dry (probably because it's not at all airtight!).

What do people think?

PS external insulation is a non-starter ("traditional" building in an AONB)]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1341&Focus=15515#Comment_15515 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1341&Focus=15515#Comment_15515 Tue, 04 Mar 2008 21:02:10 +0000 chuckey Frank]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1341&Focus=15525#Comment_15525 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=1341&Focus=15525#Comment_15525 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 00:06:15 +0000 tony
