I have a small bathroom, it has 3 exterior walls, a flat roof, and tiled floor, it's cold, really cold.
Im looking for insolation solutions.
The house itself is 1900 but this is a more recent addition, i think its 2 layers of breeze blocks with rendered outside.
The room itself is quite small, lengthwise it has only just enough length for the bath, and then the door swinging just past the corner almost touching. width it has sink, toilet and then bath with small amounts of space inbetween each (definatly not enough to fit a draw or cupboard.
I think there is no insolation under the tiles, I cracked one by dropping a medicine bottle on it and where a peice came away I can see a cavity beneith.
The walls are about 25% tiled the rest is painted plaster where the plaster isn't smooth and the pain has bubbled in places.
The two ideas I have is:
A) remove the floor tiles, install some foam insolation sheets and relay tiles.
this means the floor will rise slightly
B) use thin foil backed plaster board across the walls followed by tiling
this will mean i will loose some width and length and all teh fixtures will need removing and reaplying.
Can B be done with the plasterboard straight onto the plaster that is there? will it be effected or would i need to use battons to add a space, and how much space would i need?
Any comments/suggestions?
