Internal Walls

After electrical and data cabling, Knauf Earthwool went in : R2.0 for walls, 14kg/cubic metre acoustic insulation around laundry and bathroom.

R6.0 (!) was required in the ceiling to satisfy the EnergyRate software that we were offseting our extensive glazing and meeting the 6 star rating. The software under-rates our argon spaced double-glazed, passive solar design, and anything above R4.0 is overkill, but regulations are regulations.

Plastering is underway.
