My partner and I have purchased a 17th century cottage which is looking a little sorry for itself... It is solid brick wall on the lower floor and timber frame with hung tiles on the upper floor. We are having the hung tiles (and roof) recovered with new tiles and TLX Gold to improve the insulation but keep the breathability. We are in the process of refurbishing the bathroom where the walls were modern plasterboard with a textured artex like finish (not containing asbestos), upon stripping the walls back we can see earlier wall coverings which may well be breathable, if at all possible we wish to leave the old wall coverings in place as we do not want to disturb next doors side of the wall!
We had hoped to put some wood wool or Steico boards on the battens where the plasterboard was and then lime plaster to finish however we only have around 20mm or so depth to play with (all the lime plaster seems to need 8-10mm of depth plus the backing board), is there a good solution for a breathable wall with such little depth available?
