Polystyrene Wall Insulation - 2mm x 50cm x 10m - Insulated Underlay for Llining Paper

Bought this after reading other good reviews. Have used it on external walls and the heat retaining effect is excellent, as well as giving a smooth flat surface for further lining paper & emulsion. Provided you are thorough with your decorating preparation, and use correct wallpaper paste to water ratio (I used ratio for blown vinyls), this product adheres to the wall well & doesn't peel away. Another tip: forget the how-to-hang diagram & apply across the wall rather than top to bottom. Start at the skirting level; after pasting the wall, take the whole roll (don't pre-cut the length) & apply the Poly' Lining paper to the wall working from left-to-right (if left handed work right to left) & cut to size. Repeat the process until the whole wall is lined. When you later apply a paper lining paper, hang that as normal (ceiling to skirting) & emulsion. Good preparation before using the product is the main thing. I also pasted the walls with Glue-past and allowed to dry prior to pasting the wall and putting the Poly Lining paper up. Excellent product & brilliant result!!

This would've got 5 stars but slightly damaged on arrival. Got this to help with wall that gets slightly mouldy. Good to work with and so easy to apply. Very happy with end result, so warm to touch. Hoping problem resolved re mould

I love this item. It comes very well packaged, does exactly what it says on the sales pitch, and is very cheap. I must say it was a testing time applying this to the walls as it is very thin, however, take your time and you will get used to this. Once applied it is a very good, effective, insulating material, you can feel the difference straight away just by touching the walls. Rather than a freezing cold wall (i live in an old thick walled building) the walls are actually warm! I would recommend this to anyone who has condensation damp issues as i am sure it is going to help with that over the winter months. Make sure you use the correct adhesive and you can't go wrong. I have also wallpapered over this with anaglipta paper and will be painting over the top of that as well.

Very happy with my purchase

Great product, we bought it to insulate a fireplace alcove which had partly external wall which is always really cold. This had caused minor damp problems in the past. As we were having shelves and a cupboard built in the alcove we bought this product to protect against future issues. We sealed the plaster with anti-damp paint, then put this wall insulation up using Wallrock Thermal Liner adhesive as recommended. You have to be relatively careful with it as it's delicate, but I didn't have any issues and it's easy to fill in small holes/gaps. Once it was up, the cold external brick wall was room temperature to touch which should prevent condensation issues causing damp. I used Wallrock Fibreline 150 lining paper to go over it. Any "paste the wall" lining paper should work though. Apparently normal lining paper expands on pasting, then shrinks as it dries and this can pull the polystyrene insulation off the wall. I just used the remaining adhesive to put the lining paper up. Very happy so far, and expecting a nice dry wall when winter comes.

Great insulator

Be careful using as it can tear.

Our bay is a single brick wall and is a cold wall. This wall insulation was perfect to use on my ready prepared bay. Its easy to use and cut, I used wall paper paste to stick on to the wall, left a day, then wall papered over.
