I was looking at some of the kooltherm k118 37.5mm dot n dabbed for the garage that's been k-rend silicone rendered on the outside.

Couldn't believe the price of the k118 :shock:

So was looking at similar thickness PIR and normal plasterboard, but didn't want to compromise too much on performance as will have no heating in the garage for now.

Couldn't be bothered with the added expense of studding out the walls, etc.
Oh there will be a difference. I've not hunted that figure down though. More happy to just upgrade at £300 rather than nearer £800 and know I'm improving the 7.9kW heat loss calc slightly.

TBH, I'm suffering from early onset RE fatigue and a very, very slight case of cantbearseditis. :lol:

Don't get me wrong, I'm into it but not to K118 prices. The original build fabric doesn't justify it. :xl:

I understand perfectly mate....

I've got this garage to finish and I'm sick to the death of of it. Just want it done as quick and as cheap as possible.

I need to sort the floor out, old concrete slab at the moment. Need to screed it just to level it out. Probably only needs about 50mm, but too much to just keep on pouring self leveller on it!

Then need to come up a plan with the inside walls.

Then need find a garage door which all seem ridiculously expensive!

Then get the solar guys in to start the ball rolling putting the panels on the garage roof and installing leccy and inverter in garage.

Then hopefully the batteries I ordered off Colin arrive before Christmas!

All seems so far away and Xmas is getting closer hehe

My reply has gotten lost.
Normal pir will be 0.022w/mk and phenolic 0.019.

Check out seconds and co for their cheap pir stuff.
https://www.secondsandco.co.uk/?gad_sou ... W3EALw_wcB

They also do insulated plasterboards. It really is good quality stuff. I ordered my i
Pir from them and its wrinkles in the foil facing thats caused it to be seconds. 🙄
Not as cheap as it was for delivery as their scotland branch has shut i think, but if you are waiting anyway i may want to order some more at the same time, and maybe anyone else up here can also do so too so the shipping costs are cheaper.
They did used to do a collection swrvice.
And they also had pallets of scrap you could collect for £1!!

What about giving it a coat of SBR and a ready mix delivery of concrete straight into the floor?

The guys were back today and made good progress. All rads now hung, CU for ASHP installed, tank pipework started and both expansion vessels fitted in loft. The only downer is that the guys have to go to another job for the next couple of days, This was sprung on us and I've made it clear that i'm unhappy with the owners style of communication. Lack of thought for client life and other commitments.

The guys will be back on Thursday and Friday, then Tuesday. I'm taking that time across the weekend and Monday to nip down to the South coast to collect the RV.

My worry is that the company takes on too much work and comms suffer as they have today. Growing pains I suppose and a sign of success?

I reckon there are another 3 to 4 days of work to finish this. So far we've had 2 full 2 man days and 1 full 1 man day.

Had a molar pulled 3 hours ago. The throb is just kicking in now... :(

Might stack a few logs to take mind off it!

Had a clean up today, place looks much better with the rads out the way and now on walls. No grit or debris on floors. Call it 1/2 time. : :D

The logs did the trick! As did a towel wrapped icebag and A Guiness. :lol:
