We bought the house at a good price with the intention of extending and also improving the existing property. So the extension gets us an extra bedroom, kitchen and bathroom which we need for a family.

Insulation in the extension is, from bottom to top:
-150mm PIR "celotex" foam under the concrete ground floor;
-walls are 100mm aircrete, 100mm glassfibre, 100mm aircrete;
-attic is 300mm glassfibre.
-The door and windows are 28mm double-glazed with coated glass.

These exceed the current UK building regs/codes, but not by that much - they are quite demanding now.
