Andy135 Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Ooh! That's never good. I've insulated enough lofts to know it's a job best avoided 😣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyswamp Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Too awkward to use sheet insulation, it's only a narrow stud with quite a few cables (2x2 pse timber with 9mm pboard either side) and I couldn't be arsed to cut 30mm ins boards around cables/pipes/noggins etc Geoff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Job done. does that foam have an effect on contact with cables etc. and would make any later work difficult. I think rockwool is less of an irritant than FG. Anyway, enjoy your shower/bath. ☺️Geoff.

No boss, aqua board in wet area, it's only 9mm as it's so tight to get an 800 tray in I always (well, apart from this job) use 1/2 " backer in any wet areas, whether it's tiled or sheeted With a classi seal on edge of tray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
