I am renovating/converting a 2-300 year old farmhouse/attached barn in Cumbria. The walls are solid, rubble filled limestone 5-600mm thick. Building control have specified that I need to achieve the required U value for the walls via elemental method (2.5 from memory), and have suggested that the way to achieve this would be by applying 50mm of insulation panels followed by plaster board.
The house is currently lime plastered throughout, and the barn is just plain exposed stone.
Two questions:
1. Can anyone suggest an approximate U value for walls of this type as they currently are, both in the barn and the house?
2. Are there other methods of insulation which would be more in keeping with the renovation/conversion of this type of property?
