Insulating Thermal stores

[JohnS]

This stuff http://www.toolstation.com/shop/Adhesives+Sealants/Expanding+Foam/Dry+Wall+Foam+Fix+750ml/d180/sd2857/p60449 or this stuff http://www.screwfix.com/p/insta-stik-expanding-foam-grab-adhesive-750ml/72793 are good at sticking kingspan/celotex to itself or to walls.

If necessary, make it oversize and pour polystrene beads or the stuff that is used to pack parcels into the gap between the new casing and the store.

There is a thread from someone who did what you are doing about 3 or 6 months ago.  If I find it, I shall post a link.

Note to others - the thread I am refering to had some photos of a Landrover in it.  Anyone able to find it quicker than me?

Did you read my earlier post because it was your thermal store install that I was refering to and I recognised the name.  Just longer ago than I thought.

Didn't spot that bit about my thread.
Round the back it's just a couple of layers of Knauf loft insulation. One layer round the cylinder, and another bit to fill in the corner. Then as finishing off the bits that aren't hidden, I slipped some into bin liners to make it less messy and packed some more spaces.

Boiler's been fine since I did it, and the tenants seem happy enough with it. Happy tenants pay the rent, that makes me happy

Edit: I keep meaning to see if I can borrow an infra red camera and see what it's like for heat leakage now it's finished.
