I've just bought a single pack of Thermafleece, intending to use it inside a new stud partition wall dividing an en-suite shower room from the bedroom. On the bedroom side there is plasterboard (with a nice "roughish" finish to the gypsum - sorry! - to match the lime on the other wall, and yes, I know I should have used laths and haired lime but just for this job life was too short). On the inside of the en-suite I will be using nice thick random width reeded T&G boards i.e. better than the average DIY shed stuff.
The thermafleece is really an experiment; I've never used it before, and I thought its superior sound insulation and moisture absorption/release would be ideal for this place. However, one thing they don't tell you on their website is that it smells rather like a wet sheep. Living here in Cumbria, we actually quite like sheep - but not that much :wink:. Does anyone have experience to help? Up in the loft, the smell wouldn't matter, but behind T&G in a shower-room? I guess that condensation in the room could easily provoke it to smell quite noticeably, so we may be better to fall back on the bog-standard yellow cosy-wrap which the builders have used very profusely elsewhere.

) board, clayboard or similar if it was a 'no expense spared' type job!
