Hi all,
Hoping you can help me out a bit here, I'm after insulating my loft for better heat retention. Property is a detached bungalow built in the 70s, single brick wall with timber inner and no cavity insulation.
I've already added more insulation to the loft which has made a difference, but the gable ends are not brick to the top, the brick wall round the house is 8/9 feet tall all the way round, and the gable ends are timber frame, this is clad with plastic on the outside. The whole roof was retiled in 2006/7ish and has plenty of airflow so am not too worried about damp.
What I'd like to know is the best way to insulate the gable ends, am I ok just stapling the loft insulation to the timber or is there a better way to do it? The frame of the gable ends is 3"x2".
