until last week I had no insulation at all in my 1896 house. My attic is has living space and I decided to put 65mm insulation board between the rafters.
I have read that they recommend 120mm of insulation board but cant find any fact that justifies me do increase to save money. http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk...ducts/Home-insulation-glazing/Loft-insulation
they basically say that its the first 50mm that saves you. It will cost me a further 300pounds to cover the whole area again.
Is it worth it?
Second question
If I was to do it could I just use 75mm plaster board screws to hold them against rafters then plasterboard them with 100mm plasterboard screws. Is it ok to have the rafters hold 65mm insulation board and plasterboard?

John
