#INSULATION FOR LATH AND PLASTER WALLS PLUS#

#INSULATION FOR LATH AND PLASTER WALLS PLUS#

It's a big plus for resale and is likely to be an original element of your old house and worth saving for that reason. I also think you ought to avoid removing your lathe and plaster. Just remember that as in most cases money is an issue : ) Which living in Ontario Canada adds up to a very expensive heating bill the month of December was atrocious and the temperature averaged above freezing! Drywalling and insulating I have done before so I know more or less what to expect eith it, but removing the lathe and plaster is something I've never experienced, what should I prepare for and what is the best methods to remove it? Also if anyone has any other suggestions of things I could do or try to resolve the issue (such as other insulating methods), I would gladly hear them. Secondly and most importantly I might add is that I'm very confident that there is little if any insulation behind these walls. My reasoning for this is twofold, the first is basically just asthetic value, I personally do not like the look or feel of lathe and plaster walls. The walls are the old lathe and plaster style, and even though they are in decent to good condition I really want to repace them next spring or summer with drywall. My wife and I just bought an old century plus home this past Fall.
