anyone?

I know it's a bit unconventional but I'd like to use some paving as an area for my son to practice his basketball.
Only a small area of 3m x 4m.…

Perhaps I should clarify - the 'ASHRAE study graph' as mentioned by the OP.

Maybe I missed the chart people were referring to?
I'm not interested in sound proofing, but am interested in the merits of different air gaps re: thermal.

My question is simply to make sure the designer (who is an ex-builder, will not…

We have a weatherboard property in Adelaide. They are not as common here as in Victoria.
A North facing wall needs quite a bit of work. My options are:

Yes good to hear more positive stories regarding the same company. I am still waiting on a quote from Urathane Solutions but I think they are busy for a reason.

Anyone?

Guys I have the same dilemma, and seeking quotes from Uretek and Urethane Solutions. Missybug, our property too is on stumps and a strip foundation (it is a weatherboard home…
