Hello all you wise people. I am in the process of renovating a detached rural house with a thatched roof and I need loads of advice please. For starters, can anyone tell me about insulation underneath a thatched roof?
I have removed all internal partitions and ceiling on the first floor to create a huge open plan space with a cathedral ceiling. All supported with oak 'A' frames. At the moment the underside of the thatch is exposed and there is no felt.
So I need a layer of really effective insulation. I am planning on using Thinsulate stapled across the rafters. Then a layer of batons followed by plasterboard.
So here come the questions:
1) is Thinsulate sufficient on its own or should I also use something like Celutex as well? (the rafers are not very deep so it would be difficult to get Celutex in there).
2) Should I get some roofing felt up too?
3) Should I use fire-proof plasterboard?
Thanks people. :lol:
