I'm planning to refurbish an attic bedroom in an old, poorly built, victorian terrace (1890). The plaster in the room is lathe, which is all cracked and crumbling - I want to get rid of all this and replace it with plasterboard - I already did a similar thing in another room (non attic).
Anyway, my initial thoughts regarding the roof insulation is to get rid of the old plaster but leave the lathes in place so they keep the insulation down and maintain the air gap (depends on insulation type). I've had a look in the relevant help section on this site and found I might use 9 layer foil? Is this the best thing to use? Will it be effective enough? Whats the best installation method?
