What type of insulation for a Brownstone?
My house has drafty walls. It also has beautiful plasterwork on the drafty walls which I don't want to destroy.
I'm considering blown-in insulation and was wondering whether anyone has gotten this done?
My concerns with it are A) bugs - I live in a neighborhood with lots of termite problems and B) if I ever need to get any future work done in the walls (ie: electrical, plumbing) will it be difficult to access these systems?
Yes, I have caulked all windows and sealed the facade as much as possible but I think the cold air is also coming from convection within the wall cavity.
Anyone have any ideas or experience with different types of insulation? Any ideas/insight?
