Roof insulation
A horrible job, but it's got to be done. Roof insulation.
Put 200mm of glass fibre insulation in the roof space of the new gite this week. Yuck!
The good news is that once I finished that, I could finally connect up the last of the ducting for the VMC and install the unit in the roof space. The VMC unit is a small box with an extractor fan that sucks all the moist/smelly air from kitchens, bathrooms, toilets etc. via a series of ducting and pipework running down the walls and over the ceilings.
The unit runs 24 hours a day replacing air and keeping out damp. The unit I bought has a humidity sensor so that if the humidity increases, i.e. someone takes a steamy shower, the extraction speed increases to suck out more air. There is also a two speed override switch in the kitchen.
