If you plan to use the loft or attic for storage, you will want to lay boards over the joists. Unfortunately, if you only insulate between the joists before doing this, the insulation won’t be thick enough.
As a first stage, we need to do the render test on existing render to find out if it is strong enough to hold the insulation. If it is strong enough and the render can simply be smooth, ready for the insulation to be applied directly on to it. if is not strong enough, all the existing render need to be removed and also, the other important thing is we need clear outside walls and around the walls before the start work such as Flower pots, Any pipe works, Outside lights, Drainpipes and Satellite dishes…etc.. then Insulating panels are fixed to the wall using adhesive mortar. Plastic capped fixings are driven through the insulating panels and around their perimeter in to the wall to tie the panels securely to the wall. Mortar is then applied over the insulating panels and the fixings. An insulating mesh is then sunk in to the mortar to hold the panels in position. The mortar is sanded and rendering and ready for paint as this render system come out in white as standard.
In the UK domestic properties has few types of wall construction and most of the properties has solid wall or cavity wall construction. Cavity wall mainly 1930 to now and solid wall mainly before 1930s. cavity wall can be drill to the wall and fill the gap but solid wall not able to insulate that method. When come to the solid wall it can be done internal wall insulation or external wall insulation. Internal wall insulation is a system can apply from internal side of wall in the property and external wall is external application of the insulation to the wall.
