Fixing Insulation to Concrete Ceiling
I am looking for some advice on fixing insulation to my garage ceiling which is made of concrete, I estimate the thickness to be at least 200mm and above are bedrooms, the insulation I will be using is PUR WLG 023, the size of each board is 1200x600x80mm and the total area is 40m2 which will be around 60 boards, so I was wondering how many anchor bolts would be needed for each board and how long should they be? I thought maybe 1 anchor bolt of 130mm in the middle of each board may do? I was also thinking that all the joints where the boards meet should be taped up, what type of tape should be used? Any advice would be much appreciated.

Re: Fixing Insulation to Concrete Ceiling
Could you give some idea of what you are trying to achieve, obviously reducing heat loss I know, but what is the context, ie, will it still be used as a garage, why the decision to upgrade this area etc?

Re: Fixing Insulation to Concrete Ceiling
Assuming the insulation is lightweight and you have enough headroom in the garage, I'd be considering a 2 X 2 false ceiling about 90- 100mm below the existing with the insulation slid over the top, you'll need to support the 2 x 2 off the existing ceiling in a couple of places (depending on the span) eyebolts and dropwires will do that easily enough.
One day it will all be firewood.
