Hey guys/gals, my spare room is on the very cold side of the house so I don't really use it that much, however, now things have changed at home and I need to utilize it. The walls get really cold, but if I turn up the radiator, I simply end up with condensation build up, has anybody used the thermal lining wallpaper as I've been told this may help (not sure what the best stuff to use is) and if so, any real world opinions would be greatly appreciated.
I tried some. It is quite soft so bashes easily. I put a second layer of regular heavy lining paper over the top.
Our bedroom has a north facing end wall. I had problems with condensation. More effective was to take off the skirting boards and put up battons, then lining the wall with 25mm kingspan insulation. New plasterboard over the top. You could feel the difference with the wall being much less cold to the touch. I also increased ventilation. No more condensation on that wall.
