    Best Thermal lining wall paper

    The one i have heard of I believe is 3.2mm thick. It is more of a wall liner than a wall paper. I think the maker is Erfurt Mav !! I know is a bit pricey but if it does work then it is worth spending that bit more.

    Wood bleach

    Yes have to agree I remember the time if you spilt paint remover on your skin it would burn like h**l - now it can sit on paint for an hour and hardly touch it!!!!

    Wood bleach

    Mike when we bought house many many years ago we built a new bathroom/kitchen extension and that part of the house is cosy as walls were insulated just wish we had had the sense to insulate other walls. Would have made life far easier. Looks like we are going down the route of insulating boards.
