You would not know it is cold here Joeboy.
House is toasty and warm with the ASHP doing its thing.
Cop is apparently down to 2.1, but that is yet again with a sub standard install yet to be fully tweaked.

And the temperature outside is cold!

That is great to see. A fair chance we'll be living that next weekend! Do you have a supplier in the NE for the insulated PB?

Been creeping about with my IR thermometer this morning and I knew we had a low performing bedroom with a gable end wall. 2 to 2.5 degs difference between that wall and adjacent walls. That's me up to 10 sheets of K118 kooltherm. Or 26 sqmtr of upgraded wall. Not doing this work until after Xmas but it will again give us a small step up in the home envelope. Funny thing is, I knew the trailing rooms. Just hadn't acted on it. :facepalm:

Anything is better than nothing as the saying goes so within the constraints of space cash and DIY I would say that will be a good improvement.

I dont Joe, sorry that was for our old house down south.
It is sometimes cheaper to buy the board and the plasterboard seperately though as long as its foil faced it will do the same job.
We have a similar kind of gable wall with stairs running up here. Its also been internally insulated and maybe in the same stuff. The wall is still cooler than the other walls, but compared the the uninsulated but under the stairs is about 3 degree warmer. We may add an extra layer under this at some point, the seams of the boards are showing as a darker colour in the plaster and the screw holes have handily all popped the plaster off so fairly easy job, just a pain to do.

In the midst of the remedial work on the ashp and everything else now. I had hoped to get a thread up about it, but we now need remedial work on the remedial work. 😡.
Once theyve gone, il sit down and write the horror story.

Watching this thread with interest though. Glad the cold snap is over for you whilst you are in between heating systems and best of luck with the install.
