We bought 75 boards of 2.4 x 1.2 m 100mm insulation. 216 square metres in all and have just three left with some offcuts after completing the underfloor installation. We have squeezed in expanding foam between every gap we could to minimise cold spots. We managed to buy these boards last July when the price was 40% below present levels so out squirreling opportunism has worked well for us
Follow our experiences in self building our ecohouse on the west coast of Scotland on the Isle of Gigha on our croft plus the occasional rant about life the universe and everything. Our build is pretty innovative in being roundhouses (2 x linked dodecahedra) built in Structural Insulated Panels with no internal structural walls or timbers and with a turf roof. Never been done before or so we think. Check out our website at http://www.ecoroundhouse.co.uk/
