Section showing cold air in the cavity |
We have an internal cavity wall, due the house having two bedrooms added at the back. I failed to have it filled when we were bashing the house around, but it showed up as the source of a major air leak in our airtightness test. So today we had the cavity filled with polystyrene beads. The sections shows how cold air can infiltrate the house - even without air movement there could be convected heat loss, so we hope this will make a significant difference.(the cavity does connect top to bottom, but this section is through a door)
Hi there, so how is it going? Is the new house better than the old??ha ha!and "finished"?!Looks like the whole of the front is now planted. Hope you'll be warm and cheaply cozy this winter!How about some finished shots. Will the blog close down now?! Gillian x
