Dear all, hello and thanks in advance for your advice. I am in south west scotland at the moment working on the restoration of a large old stone building which will become someone’s home. The building has 2ft thick stone walls pointed in a sand:cement:lime mix which still enables it to breathe nicely.
I am struggling to find affordable natural insulation options for the internal ceilings which will be covered in old floor boards…i am on a very tight budget. Straw and clay are available pretty much locally.
I have attached a picture of one of the ceilings and would appreciate your thoughts (the sloped ceiling will be exposed— horizontal beams are coming out). I want to use as much natural, recycled, repurposed material as i can and was glad to find you all here! anyone else in scotland?
