It's probably feasible, if you can find a shipping company that will run to Bari, then truck it to your door. The container will cost about two grand to buy (a mate of mine who farms in Cornwall bought one). Lord only knows what the shipping would be, though. All told though, it's a bit of an expensive shed, which is then the work of the Madonna to cut holes in for windows, power, etc. And you need to make sure the locals aren't going to take offence with it in the garden. Where we are, the comune would have a baby if we tried that on. Shamelessly blowing my own bugle here, I could get you a 14 cubic metre vanload to Puglia for considerably less than the cost of buying a container and shipping it. You could throw a flat-packed workshop/shed in there too, if you fancied!

Import paperwork looks like it ight be a real hassle...mmmm

Thanks for that, it seems daft that insulated board can still be cheaper after importing it! Seems that Italy is slow to act on EU insulation directives..

Whilst trying to organise the shipment of some Kingspan K17 to Puglia, my attention was drawn to a multi- layered foil product called�� TRI ISO SUPER 10 at only 30mm thick it apparently can be as effective as 210mm of rockwool, it turns out I can buy this for less than�� the cost of shipping out the K17. I've read conflicting reports. Has anybody used it and does it really work? Do tell!

"Has anybody used TRI ISO SUPER 10 and does it really work?" Never used it, but this may be informative;- �� Seems OK for��a pitched roof��- not sure about on walls though

Yeah we know about that - a bit like�� a "Faraday cage", but I reckon we will need an aerial on the roof for a decent mobile/internet signal anyway.. more importantly, did the fancy foil insulation do the job as the manufacturer�� claims? However, top marks for pointing out a potential downside-as it happens we'll be too busy/knackered to notice a lack of moble signal�� in the short term. PS Can you believe�� I've just calculated I need 660m of inch by two to dryline the hoose ceilings ,can it rteally be cheaper to haul it out from�� UK?? Somebody stop me!!!

I'm the last person who should be saying this, but: look out for a decent legno place, and go wangle a trade discount. Softwood is one thing we've sourced well here (Cellini Arduino, just north of Civitanova Marche for any Marchegiani interested. You need to have the time to have philosophical chats with the gaffer, old Dottore Cellini, but it's worth it for the experience). Shouldn't be any need to ship that out from the UK. It's more the things made out of wood, like gates and fencing etc, that seem to be better sourced oop north. Oh, my client was very happy withthe insulative properties of his higi-tech foil, by the way.

Good, good, .. but is the wood tanalised? As it happens what is the �������� for tanalised?? Roll�� on the hols..

Hi Bunterboy, We need around 100m2 of roof insulation and are looking at shipping it our from UK. Looking at kingspan and also foil insulation option. Would consider a joint shipment (we are in Le Marche, so en-route). Who did you contact at Kingspan to get a good deal, Or if you found the foil insulation for a good price her in Italy, where did you manage to source it? The type of insulation we've been offered here is not worth the bother as the thermal values as so low. Thanks, regards.

(Jason most helpful.) Eventually opted for trioso super 10, 144m2 (20% extra free) plus foil tape for 1300 squid.�� It cost less than the shipping costs of Kingspan alone. So hopefullly, although it is more work to fit with double battening etc it should give a U value of around 5. The trioso stuff is manufactured in southern France funnily enough (Limoux) and they have an agent in Italy too. I'll be bringing the foil rolls out in my trailer in the summer and will report on it's efficacy later.. PM me for more details. Ciao Billy

I think it can be shipped from UK.�� Stuffs will be checked carefully but you have to pay certain taxes.��
