More insulation

With all External walls now covered in external Insulation we are waiting with baited breath to see what difference it's going to make to the climate in the house.  


On Friday my wife was convinced she could already feel a difference in the back bedroom (which was notoriously chilly previously).  

We've been told that it could take a few weeks for the full effect to become apparent due to the Thickness of our walls - meaning that it takes time for the walls to heat up.  Still the early signs are encouraging; it definitely feels as though the heat in the house is being retained longer once the central heating turns off.

Anyway I promised some pics of the front of the house as the insulation was applied so here they are:

Before:




Here is the front covered with the insulation boards.  The pic below give an idea of the thickness of the boards that have been applied.


And here you can see the fastening system.  


This is then covered with 3 layers of render and mesh to provide a waterproof external surface.
