Help with insulation
Hi All
I have been told by a tiler friend that the insulation I have for a interior wall was wrong. I am told that I need a denser type of insulation like the blue insulation that you may know of.
The insulation I need must be thinner than the normal blue insulation about 15mm so if you know where in the Coimbra area I can get what I need then please help.

I take it you've tried Leroy Merlins?

Re: Help with insulation
Peter, can’t help out around Coimbra but just a thought. Have a look at the superfoil website
www.superfoil.co.uk.
If your looking to maximise u values with minimal thickness it could be a solution. Their website has a pretty good design guide for many uses.
I don’t know if they have a PT agent, you could ask them or depending how much you need, cost etc maybe shipping it out could be an option?

Re: Help with insulation
Hi All
Perhaps i should have made myself clear, the wall is an inside wall going up to the floor above. As the stairs are a little narrow and i want to insulate the wall before i have tiles put up. I need an insulation like the blue stuff we all know and use but only about 15mm thick. I could have the tiles put straight up but this is the one cold wall in the house and all the rest bar this section of wall has been insulated.
Thanks for the replies

Re: Help with insulation
As you haven't found anyone around who has 15mm high density polystyrene in stock, you just have to go to your local builders supply and ask them to order it for you I think.
However, the dow website doesn't show anything thinner than 30mm.
