Two things to think about here. The first is to really batten the boat well prior to a visit for the insulation guys coming. The second is to treat those ‘masters of all things thermal’ guys really well. Efficiency and quality Battening is a really important job. Mothership Marine really believe in getting the job done well, in-fact we go a little overboard (excuse the turn of phrase). It’s the boats foundations. Get those right the rest of the job will progress smoothly. Variation We also allow for some in the position of bulkheads. It’s natural to be over optimistic when looking at plans of a narrowboat. A tweak of a few inches on bulkheads can make all the difference to a design. It’s one of the reasons Mothership Marine Narrowboats feel much less claustrophobic than similar builds. Warm and cozy There are many ways to insulate a narrowboat but we prefer Polyurethane Sprayed Foam. If done by a good team you won’t get cold spots. Important when wanting to avoid condensation which can have a very detrimental effect on your hull and from the resulting mould, your health. So we’re nice to the team and you get a few more millimetres of foam in all the right places and you get that all important warm and cozy feeling.
