After a very stressful week and a half in which I was in no mood to post a blog, we are now finally seeing things take shape and feeling a lot better for it.
It took us a whole week to decide on the type of window to have at the back and what to do about the rendering. Instead of the super duper triple glazed, low maintenance all glass Svarre windows we liked we have now opted for the traditional double glazed sash from Solberg in Denmark. It's easier to fit and less costly.
It's taken an age to work out the type of insulation to install for the internal walls in the back bedroom. I have now decided on 60mm of Gyproc Super with Gyp Liner Universal. As space is an issue for us in this room, we are using a lower thickness than that recommended by specifiers. At least British Gypsum offered me advice unlike the hard to get hold of people at Knauf Insulation who are not good at returning phone calls.
