Can you make a video of how to install Optim-R in a cathedral ceiling? From below, or from above (for new construction or when the roof needs replacing anyway), or showing both options?

Optim-R is very impressive, but why would anyone insulate an outdoor terrace?

[@KingspaninsulationCoUk]

Hi Sam, usually when constructing a terrace area for a refurbishment or a new build above a heated room/habitable space, there will be a requirement to put insulation in the deck of the balcony/terrace. This also helps the thermal efficiency in the room below.

Why would a terrace or balcony need insulation? It's outdoors. The insulation does nothing. ???

Hi Jonathon, terraces and balconies will often need insulation as a requirement if they are a refurbishment or a new build over a heated room/habitable space. This also helps the thermal efficiency in the room below.
