Posted	fish house .........?
18-09-2006 21:02 by wayne	im just in the process of building my fish room, just wondered what people think would be the best insulation? polystrene or loft insulation?
18-09-2006 21:25 by sturio	if ya want loft insulation, have got 3 brand new rolls here u can have,if ya live local to poole
18-09-2006 21:35 by robert.pope	how about that new silver coated loft insulation....its expencive but ment to be realy good
18-09-2006 21:55 by Phill Austen	I think you get more insulation in less volume with polystyrene sheets. make sure you include a waterproof membrain to prevent condensation behind insulation
19-09-2006 06:56 by Danny Boy	when insulating houses we use kingspan or roof insulation. the jabalite (polystyrene) is used for floors. the advantage of kingspan is that it does have a silver sheet backing which would be cleanable etc
19-09-2006 09:38 by wayne	im thinking of putting battons on the wall and maybe using polystrene as it does really matter if it gets a bit wet,and then boarding over it
19-09-2006 10:42 by telboy	ali says "sod the fish house, how bout finishing off the flat 1st"?
19-09-2006 13:33 by Danny Boy	if it gets wet it'll mold over and rot. if its inside your house then its already insulated well enough just do soething for the windows
19-09-2006 13:43 by wayne	its actually made up from 3 walls of the house 1 side is the garage , 1 side is the kitchen and the other side is the shower room , and ive built a breeze block wall about 4 ft high and finished the height upto about 7ft in cls timber and marine ply the roogf is going to be ply and going to use pond liner and silicone to water proof , im also going to insulate the roof with more poly and battons will try to get some pics
19-09-2006 14:19 by Malawimad	Wayne have a look at a product called trespa, its a highly pressurised laminated panel, water,snow, mould, nothing touch's it, we use it in curtain wall screens and farcades, its expensive but its a life time guarentee!
19-09-2006 14:22 by Malawimad	You can buy this off the shelf from a companie called ultratherm, Speak to barry 01902798879 Thats if u wanna go that way!
19-09-2006 20:41 by wayne	thanks will look into all ways , im only going to do it once so its worth investing,
21-09-2006 12:55 by sonia	is it not possible to just have one indoors thats my dream if you got the space just have one small or medium size bedroom with loads of tanks. My only worry is condensation but wayne you will save money and hassle with all this heating and insulating headaches. Also are you going to run them all off one filter? is it possible
21-09-2006 17:40 by Danny Boy	wayne ive just come in to a lot of cheap kingspan. gimme 15 quid a sheet (8' x 4') and you can take as much as you need. bear in mind its almost double that in the building merchants
21-09-2006 19:13 by wayne	oh danny boy just been out today and spent 100.00 on poly for the walls,*** it
27-09-2006 21:06 by wayne	UPDATE..........I PUT A BIT OF WOOD ON THE WALL TODAY
