    You only loose 10mm with this. But its about £130 + vat plus adhesive £20+ and some other extras

    It isnt the only option you can insulate on outside but it will probably cost more

    You cannot expect to get any effective insulation without some thickness of insulation. Losing a couple of inches off the width of a room seems a small price to pay to provide extra insulation. If you do not have a cavity wall, then it is your only option.

    Actually savemoney, you have reminded me. Down in Gosport they completely covered several tower blocks with externally applied slabs of polystyrene which were covered with some sort of mesh. This was rendered or sprayed against the weather. The final result looks very nice. The applied slabs were at least 100mm thick, if not more. Might even be a DIY solution , especially if the the house is terraced and the area to be covered is not too great.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.
