The problem with PB backed insulation is the cost & availability.
- Jewsons 50+12.5mm PIR+PB is something like =A370/sheet inc VAT.
- Gyproc Thermaline 35mm XPS+PB is about =A337/sheet inc VAT.
Marmox is very expensive - 50mm is =A317.56/sheet inc VAT and delivery, min order 5 sheets - but a sheet is just 1200x600mm compared to
2400x1200mm for the previous.
The good thing about Marmox is the waterproof cementitious coating + waterproof extruded polystyrene + waterproof cementitious coating. That means it can "catchup" with PIR+PB performance per unit thickness because you can glue it straight to damp solid brick walls and just skim it - rather than Baton thickness on top of PIR+PB thickness. For example 50mm Marmox becomes about 55mm bonded to the wall & skimmed with R =3D 1.53, whereas 25mm batons + 25mm PIR + 12.5mm PB (37.5mm K17) becomes 62.5mm for R =3D 1.15. You have to go to 25mm batons + 40mm PIR
- 12.5mm PB (52.5mm K17) which becomes 82.5mm to get R =3D 1.80. With batons there is the risk of interstitial condensation with solid double brick if the dew point happens to migrate out of the wall into that void.
For a ceiling, I would go with whatever the local building merchant has and screw thro the PB and the PIR into the joists.
