Advice needed please - Pebble dash/ Cementing or Insulation?

skuk21 · 25 Dec 2010

Hi guys

The exterior of my daughter's bedroom is exposed to the elements and it is VERY cold in her room. I was wondering if I get the back of the house pebble dashed or cemented will it warm the room up?

Alternatively, I was thinking of putting a small timber frame on the inside, filling it with insulation, and then plaster boarding and plastering the walls.

Can someone please advise.

No.

Building a stud- wall will help significantly.

I agree with Mointainwalker,,,,, and i'd definitely put insulation between the studs too as you suggested Skuk,,, use 12.5mm, foil backed 8'x 4'plasterboard sheets,, (Duplex), for the wall/s.

HI
no pebbledashing or anything like that will make it warmer,If you stud the wall you will loose to much of the floor area.
I dobed & dabed insulated plasterboard on my bedroom walls then had them skimmed,so far this winter we have only had the heating on couple of hours in mornings and eveinings.
