We moved into a bungalow last year.
One of the rooms is an extension, that has 3 exterior walls. It is consistently cooler than other rooms.
Upon inspection, we can see that the room has cavity wall insulation (it basically has a cavity between the bricks and a very small amount of yellow wool insulation), and rock wool above in the small loft space. There is no insulation in the floor, or anything else on the walls.
Because this room is so much colder, we would like to use Kingspan to fully insulate the walls and floor.
The existing walls are plasterboarded and skimmed. The question is whether we can simply attach some batons to the existing plastered plasterboard walls and place the Kingspan in, then another plasterboard on top and skim...or do we have to rip down all the plasterboard back to the bare brick? Would this cause any problems? Would it be better?
Thanks!
