I thought I might start a thread that is maybe of interest to others who live either permanently in Cyprus or on occasional basis and may have considered doing something to increase the quality of life in their house due to the cold winters we have experienced recently and the oh so hot summers we get.
So after much research and dwelling on the potential, it just toook some more heavy electricity bills for the air con to push us to make the final decision model home virtual tours and so we opted to go with a British run Company from Paphos who we had seen working in our area on a project, and on Monday they started work and so far its quite impressive to see.
With the project underway, I thought I might post some photos of the work. Here they of loaded some supplies and WOW, you just do not realise how much stock they needed until the lorry came to deliver so if you are thinking of this, bear it in mind.
This is an interesting thread. It is a battenless construction. For the moment, we cannot see how it will be finished and, until then, I won't comment except to say that Spur's 'sponge' won't happen as the PS foam will almost certainly be closed cell.
What they are using appears to be EXTRUDED model home virtual tours POLYSTYRENE which keys together and is much harder than the normal expanded variety. ( the soft white polystyrene ). I used this some 4-5 years ago but internally and then covered it with drywall and it does an excellent job.
The builders here do not use cross battens or fixings on concrete model home virtual tours as the roof slope is usually shallow. Just lift the tiles, �glue� the polystyrene sheets model home virtual tours onto the roofing waterproof material , put the tiles back and cement the edges. The weight will �key� them onto the polystyrene. It will stop the oven effect in the summer and the chill factor model home virtual tours in winter. You can do the same on a flat roof but it needs covering with something you can walk on, is waterproof and also you will need to make provisions model home virtual tours for the drains.
i am surprised that this is glued on.i looked into this some years ago as research for a customer, at that time the method was to use washered stainless steel screws to hold the polystyrene to the buildings faceings.although i was aware why this was done i sought confirmation with the manufacturer as to why, they said it was to stop failure should the plaster render start to fail thus causing the polystyrene to detach from the structure.
the reason the customer did not proceed ( at that time) was the extra width added to the house may have impinged on the percentage build on the plot, ie making it too big in accordance with planning regulations thus preventing deed issue.
