zeb Posted March 13, 2005 Share Posted March 13, 2005 Do you mean rockwool? 'horrible stuff - should be banned! Mindyou, we have used it everywhere - it's stuffed into every gap and inside all the plasterboarded walls and ceilings except where we have used the accustic/thermal backed placo. Use the thickest that you can get (if space allows) for best insulation and for protection wear overalls, gauntlets, hat and goggles - it makes you itch for days.

Frogslegs Posted March 13, 2005 Author Share Posted March 13, 2005 No it's very thin and looks and feels like wallpaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 We've just taken some of this off a ceiling so I wouldn't recommend it. We put it on a new platerboard ceiling over the stairwell. I don't know if we didn't prime the new plasterboard well enough or whether it was just a question of the difficulty of access that we didn't get enough pressure but it didn't stick very well and had air bubles in it. I would be very doubtful trying to stick it to floor boards and it doesn't have much 'give'. On an ordinary flat ceiling or on a wall it's fine.If you want to decorate between the beams we have put up lambris (cerusé finish). We think it looks good but I know lambris is not everyone's taste. A friend of mine has plaster board but with beams as unevenly spaced as ours we didn't think that was an option.Liz (29) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
