I've just been putting fibreglass roll under suspended wooden floors with about 2ft of headroom, pitch black, crawling around in soil and dust, no mask, and no googles, pretty stupid really and I'm still not convinced it's any warmer ! -
Chug, we have fantastico insulation,
insulation is the biggest part of the battle

I know what you mean Troll but the wall leaves vent in the loft and should allow sufficient ventilation through the material. I think a more common problem is sloppy brickies dropping mortar on a cavity brick tie.Originally posted by Troll View PostComment

The house I just bought a 1920s house that had cavity insulation put in about 20 years ago. No obvious problems other than the foam blocked up some of the air vents that went through to the cavity under the suspended floor, a bit of a pain unblocking them.Originally posted by Troll View PostComment

roots,
the wooden floors are beautiful, we are very happy with them
And they are always warm for bare feet unlike tiles without under floor heating.

I gotta say, these Weinerburger Porotherm blocks http://www.wienerberger.com/servlet/...wb_com_home_en are like lego and go up like lego and anyone can lay them
unlike our tradition in the UK for two parallel walls that take a huge amount of time and skill to lay
I am surprised noone in the uk is building with these Porotherm blocks systems

Or even hay bales (the retangular ones, not the circular). Anyone can lay those and they must have pretty good thermal properties?Comment

We used to do it as kids, was great fun. Until the farmer chases you
