I'm renovating my daughters bedroom with an 1894 Victorian semi-detached.
At the moment I've had to go back to brick on all the walls as the plaster was blown. The walls were is a bad state and various blends of plaster had been used by the looks of it.
Given that the house has a solid brick wall I want to add IWI which I believe should be breathable which means lime based.
So the first questions has any one had experience with thermal insulation?
I am considering either thermal board; thermoblok or spacetherm or thermal lime plaster; diathonite, thermopor or ecocork.
Has anyone had experience with any of the above and how did you find working with it?
Given, that it is a big area and lime plastering the whole room is both time and material I'm wary of cost.
So the second questions is whether or not anyone has experience of plastering the 3 internal walls with gypsum; wet of base and board and blending with lime of the exterior wall returns?
The third question is has anyone had experience of applying a scratch coat and then boarding with a breathable board such as fermacell?
Finally, should I just use the standard gypsum and wet plaster the whole room and have use thermal plaster board with a vapour barrier?
Thanks in advance
