ya i had thought of how flammable it is but dont know if bein flammable is a big issue with in sulation making companies, put a lighter to kingspan and youll see what i mean its like its soaked in petrol. anyway for anyone who might do diy on insulation, one major thing you must remember is to never let your electrical cables to be in contact with styrofoam of any kind even exposed kingspan, meaning kingspan without foil, whatever is in these will react with the insulation of your cables and dry them out so if there ever moved slightly the cable insulation will just crack off. may seem like useless information but electrical safety is one of the most important things to consider after the structure of your building so much so i just got a brainwave to open a thread for advice for anyone who might think about doin home diy in electrical.
