How can I improve the insulation of lath and plaster clad exterior walls?
I'm having the two living rooms in my victorian semi knocked into one and want to improve the insulation at the same time as the front room in particular gets really cold (it has a bay window which probably doesn't help). The outside walls are solid brick with an air gap and then lath and plaster mounted on battens (I think). I'm not worried about ripping off all the lath and plaster but I want something that's going to have the greatest effect with the minimum cash and effort.
It can be blown in from the interior through holes made at the top and bottom . They can be smaller than 3" inches. There is a special nozzle for this type of application. You can do this yourself - I did...
