			<![CDATA[What is the best way, or should I even insulate across the top of an eaves lintel (pic to follow in next post)<br /><br />My plan was to affix a piece of PIR along the angled front edge of the lintel, so that the top meets with the PIR in-between the rafters and then foam any gaps.<br /><br />Good plan?  Bad plan?]]>

			<![CDATA[Thanks Tony â€“ you have answered a few of my queries in the past; appreciated.<br /><br />I have plenty of PIR (over-ordered) so my plan is to do what you said albeit with PIR, and foam the gaps.  I love foamâ€¦.]]>
