We are going to redecorate our son's bedroom, which is the first floor of an extension off the main body of the house and is quite chilly, as it has a long exterior wall.
I thought it would be a good opportunity to dry line the wall, I reckon some battens screwed to the wall at the right intervals and to the appropriate thickness with Knauf rocksilk slabs between would be easy and effective. I would then cover with plasterboard and, because we don't want the mess of skimming with plaster, cover the joints, fill the screw holes and simply paper over with a heavy lining paper.
Obviously sockets would need refitting on dry lining boxes and the skirting would need removing then refitting.
Good idea?
