Hi
Looking for some advice about insulating a dormer bedroom in a 1960,s house. The bedroom is directly above an open porch. From what I can work out I need to insulate both the walls that cut into the roof space.
I am presuming if I insulate the sides in the roof space with kingspan top to bottom and seal sides with tape that should do the trick ?
Few issues I can't seem to figure out
1) do I need any type of vapour membrane ?
2) I need to run wires through the board to reconnect the sockets and wiring for the lights. How is this done and won't this compromise the insulation?
3) is there a fire risk because of this and do I need to rewire with another type of cable?
4) best way to insulate the floor without ripping up the boards
