@@1951timbo thank you very much. You will certainly notice a big difference in winter.

Same!

Here's a tip I wish I knew before I started. Use tin snips to cut the thermal liner. You'll get a cleaner cut than if you use a Stanley knife or scissors. It's tough stuff and doesn't cut easily. This isn't a bad thing. It's worth every penny.

Thank you your welcome.. n

Thanks your welcome

Can you use that paint over old plaster lath walls?

No! Don’t be stupid.

Can the wall breath though?

Yes feels a load better already.. can't wait to show the finish. Thanks

Thank you.

Hello, just wondering how close you are to Clitheroe Lancashire. we would like you to do this for us

@@PaintingandDecorating Yey a fellow Brit. Sorry to trouble you friend but I wondered if I could ask your learned opinion on something. I need to do what you are doing above, I have a kitchen and bathroom extension on a terraced house that was built in the 50's and 14 years of winters out there have been atrocious at times so I am fitting a new kitchen and am going to sort the walls given they are single brick no cavity exterior walls. Question: Once Ive put the thermic dampstop up with the funky glue, I have a choice of what liner to use: Red label 10m insulation roll is 4mm thick and £11.99 a roll. Wallrock Thermal Liner 10m roll is 3mm thick and the cheapest I can find it for is £39.99, hell of a difference in price. In either case I am then putting a thick 1700 grade lining paper on top. Any reason I shouldn't go for the cheaper option wall liner in your opinion? cost of living crisis and all lol, cheers for the help if able. Thanks for the vid, most useful.

p.s. trick with the pencil and table, :O well that would have helped me draw straighter lines on many an occasion over the last 40 bloody years, why don't they teach these things at school.

Yes... but this one is fibre fleece... lot more expensive than the polystyrene.. more tough as well.

Yeh, I used to do our walls with that polystyrene roll too. Nice and warm to the touch and every layer helps with the thermal performance of a cold room.

Great to hear.. thanks

Thank you.. It all depends on how fussy your customer is. Chances are you will be able to slightly see where the joints are. Lining just helps reduce imperfections. Leave it down to your customer and explain the reasoning behind lining paper. The worst case is, you line it eventually because it is not good enough. But that said people always decorate rented properties. So the customer may be happy just to have the thermal liner, and allow the tenant to finish with wallpaper. Cheers

At a push and if well applied you could get away with painting it.. But we usually put lining paper on. Thanks

He used standard.

Thank you.. it does stay soft.... probably better with a tough wallpaper on top. But still worth using to save money on heating.

What insulated plasterboard did you use , is it gyproc as that's what I think I'm looking for , I'm not up on these things to know , would go for this wall rock if it wasn't soft ,

As long as no leaks, yes. It can be painted directly, but best to fill joints and line foa a better finish. Thanks 👍

@@PaintingandDecorating could you fill the lines with the addesive or filler

Sorry my typing was bad can you use on a solid wall and can you fill lines in joins with filler or addesive you use to put paper up

Not bad a little more work than normal paper. But it does come off. Thanks

Acoustic liner, its like glorified lino! Worth doing if its the party wall between your neighbour. It is building work, and needs treating as such to do it right. Not just a case of slapping it on the surface.

Whatever makes the least amount of waste and makes it easier.. that's the best advice using this thermal liner. Thanks

My question too! What did you do?

It will help yes. Thanks

Yes it's better to have another surface really.. wallpaper that has a texture is best.

Please don't do this to the outside facing walls. Have it checked by someone who knows about older property, and come up with a better, if albeit more expensive solution. By all means do the interior walls. and insulating above ceilings, under floors will bring gains too. If the wall has a window, get some advice on uprating the glazing unit.

It works great ignore the other comment... only need to insulate outside walls and upstairs ceilings.. makes a difference and is cheap with little mess. Save you loads on heating

If you're in the UK & your property has an energy rating of E or below, (perhaps D in some areas), you can get free insulation installed. I've just had it done on my outside facing walls - I'm currently redecorating.

@@toria-j Do you have a link for this please, this would be perfect for my outside walls, looking at houses nearby , they are e or f rating.

@@wassap786 the company was CES - based in Swansea, but they cover the UK. Try asking for Dean & mention my name. They do an assessment & tell you what they can provide, though this partly depends on timing and what your council covers. (The guys that came here were really efficient & friends say the plastering is really decent. Once the plaster dried, I noticed an improvement in both heat and sound.)

Yes that's what it's like

@@PaintingandDecorating Thanks for the reply .. Also after painting the surface is quite rough .. is it suppous to be like it ? previously wall was a smooth surface..

Thanks, it does help it works both ways.

@@PaintingandDecorating I thought it might but after the heatwave last year I didn't want to risk making things worse!

Best to remove old wallpaper. And you can paste the back for difficult areas. Thanks

I've got the same question - assume it would be fine?

@scruffykl Did you use the wallrock adhesive to apply the fibre lining paper? If yes, did you paste the paper or wall?

@@samj82 yeah I used the same adhesive to apply the lining paper - worked fine, no issues at all. I pasted the wall (ie front of the thermal wallpaper) then stuck the lining paper on top. I used wallrock fibre liner as I believe it doesn't shrink as some standard lining paper can do when used in these situations

Thanks.. fill twice then apply lining paper best way to hide joints'

Yes a small amount.. thanks

Thank you.

Both , but if painting best to use lining paper before painting.. thanks

@@PaintingandDecorating is it correct that you have to use paste the wall wallpaper on this ?

Oh no! In my rooms I've used 2mm thermal liner and then the smooth fibre lining paper over the top. It takes forever though and you can still see the joins in the thermal liner in places. I was hoping getting the pre fibrelined thermal liner would solve both problems. But maybe not if they're not stuck together well :(

@@chris-townson the biggest frustration is that it did a great job of keeping the room warm. Unfortunately all the finish wall paper has peeled off everywhere so I need to remove and reapply

Did you use fibre liner on top and a ready mixed extra strong paste?

@@mathewgallimore1484 just stick back all edges with ready mixed strong adhesive. Should be fine.. thanks

Always best to strip old wallpaper off. I would not go straight on top. Short cuts never work in decorating. Thanks

Yes I have had small issues like that..

Same here I can't decide. What did you do in the end? Plasterboard etc?

If you find someone who can hang wallpaper they should be able to sort it out. Thanks

Easy done.

Walls don't really breath in that sense, the surface may absorb and dry out a little. But as far as going all the way through I'm not sure about that. Especially from the outside otherwise your house would be wet. So the answer is no.
