Although
we had prepared the box for the insulation, it still had it's original
roof vents fitted. We planned to instal 'Mini Heiki' roof lights (a
caravan type sky light). So this meant our first job was to remove the
old vents and cut and frame holes ready for the new roof vents. The
square holes are a standard 40mm X 40mm.
Here's
the action...
Now
that the holes were made, we could start gluing the X-Trem insulation
onto the walls. We used a solvent contact adhesive to bond them to the
walls and ceiling. For the ceiling we used 15mm X-trem and for the walls
we used 10mm. So this combined with the rock-wool already inside the
walls should provide good thermal and acoustic inulation. The X-trem
was easy to work with, though using a contact adhesive means you only
get one shot at getting it into position. Here's how we managed...
The
last job involving the X-trem was to run some wires for the ceiling
lighting. I simply channeled out grooves and glued the wires up ready
for the ply lining...
