The cottage we are just about to start on has two upstairs rooms. At present, it is just lathe and plaster then the joists/boards/tiles etc.
Plan is to pull the lathe and plaster down (all well worn and cracked) then insulate it to the hilt before plasterboarding on top.
Question being. Superquilt looks interesting and would appear to do the job without taking up too much space whilst leaving an air space for breathing.
Also, very quick/clean by the looks of things.
Downside-Expensive compared to alternatives (see below). However, does that pay for itself in terms of performance long term.
Alternatives would be Kingspan wedged between the joists. Takes longer to do and isnt as draught free.
Cheap B & Q insulation between the joists. £1 a roll makes it hard to ignore however, I suspect it will choke the airflow and not be a good idea.
Any advice?
