Hi,
Its taken us weeks but weve finally managed to remove the horrid artex from our living room celiing. We did this by steaming the stuff off and in doing so managed to get back to the original plaster... which is in pretty good condition.
So, two questions spring to mind as to what to do with it now.
1) As we are back to plaster, do I need to coat it with something (PVA mixture or some sealant of some form)? and
2) Is there anyway I can insulate this so that any heat that is generated in the room stays in the room rather than heating the upstairs too?
In terms of the second question, I'm thinking something thats not going to take up more than a couple of mm. (insulating paint?)
