Geoff S Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Leccy, is there any reason you didn't simply use polystyrene sheet as insulation to line the inside? It's non-conductive and so would avoid the extra step of adding Correx. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Geoff -ordinary expanded polystyrene foam doesn't have a fraction of the insulating capacity of the Kingspan - I've been amazed at how well that insulates my workshop and I'm told that the aluminium foil is an intrinsic part of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Additionally, the Correx is a much harder wearing surface than polystyrene and it is fire retardant as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The clear sticky plastic coating is a pain to remove. My mission to secure the right matching colour for the box to blend in with it's surroundings proved unsuccessful this morning. I thought I'd cracked it, but the example that I found was a "chalk" surface, not suitable for external use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john davidson 1 Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Plenty paint left if you want some. Part of a two for one first order from Watco, £80 a big tin , original use was for roofs, high end spec, I used it to rejuvenate wrinkly tin garage roof, only used half Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leccyflyer Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Thanks for the offer, but it has to match in with the surroundings John, so a very specific colour required. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
