Hi all,
Currently renovating a cottage that dates from 1730 (not listed).
Upstairs at the front of the house we have tile hung timber framed walls. The structure of the wall is (from inside to outside):
We are looking to resolve this and are considering our options with the hope of achieving a U-Value of under 0.3 (current building regs would require 1.8 I believe). We want to achieve the same aesthetics internally and externally with the finished wall. Unfortunately the lathe/plaster is not in a good state and will have to be replaced regardless...
The current plan is to do the following:
Has anyone got any suggestions of a better way to do it?
Thanks in advance!

Upstairs at the front of the house we have tile hung timber framed walls. The structure of the wall is (from inside to outside):
- 100mm oak frame (with lathe/plaster inset between the wood, the rest of the space between the wood is a void)
- battens on the back of the oak frame
- clay tile hung

The current plan is to do the following:
- remove tiles & battens
- install TLX Gold to the outside of the oak frame
- re-batten and tile the wall
- from the inside fit 50mm Wood Fibre Batts between the oak frame
- from the inside fit a breathable board and lime plaster between the oak frame
Has anyone got any suggestions of a better way to do it?
Thanks in advance!
