Insulating a barn conversion is no easy task using conventional insulation methods. Not only do you have a large space with high ceilings, but also it is desirable to retain some of the original features to make the property more appealing.

The foam can simply be sprayed onto the underside of roof tiles and this can even be done without the need for a ventilated airspace. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
