Hi all,
I live in an old heritage weatherboard cottage on the highway which has no insulation what so ever. It's very noisy and drafty, so I am looking at ways to retro fit wall insulation for sound deadening mostly. Was all set to go with foam injected - deposit paid and the men arrived to do the work, but he took one look at the internal wall boards and said it was a no go as they'd all warp. Just devastated. So back to plan A- remove the external boards (they look easier) and shove in bats.
Hubby and I are novices, but keen- so any advice? There seem to be millions of bats, what's the best for heavy noise and a tight budget?
thanks all - Tris
