$$ HOW TO INSULATE EXISTING COLD WALLS ON A BUDGET DIY $$ Stop Loosing Heat and Start Saving Money!!

For those who want a different option, perhaps heavy duty curtains from wall to wall. That way it looks nice, the curtains are moveable, the wall breathes, thereby avoiding mold issues, and there's still insulation.

[@Moes_Prep_and_Tech]

That Idea kinda reminds me of Tapestry they put up on walls in Castles back in the day, lol

I had thought about this idea to add insulation to my walls, but covering with wall paneling. I love being able to see how wallpaper works.

[@zeldagoblin]

You can buy this stuff with a peelable self adhesive backing. I lined my fitted wardrobes with it, they were situated on an outside wall. Massive difference, the wall is warm, not damp

[@barbedstar6480]

My old un-insluated house had to have a new roof. I had Reflectics put on the roof before the metal roof was installed. It made a difference of 10 degrees in Summer and in winter, plus the roof is quiet in the rain. Super happy I did.

[@cupcakesmom3498]

Half of my garage was turned into a game room by the previous owners, it’s a nice addition but very cold, with this I can do the wall that’s shared with the garage, thanks.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

Two years ago I battened a wall and covered with two layers of bubble wrap and three layers of foil in alternating layers. Foil edges overlapped and spray glued. Top face is drywall plasterboard. It has totally stopped the persistent damp and mould for very reasonable cost. It’s that good we can allow soft furnishings to touch the wall. Previously they became damp and mouldy. Not any more.

[@matimusthegreat]

Thinking of doing something similar.. can i ask, did you apply the plasterboard directly over the foil or did you add another level of battens ontop of the foil and then plasterboard. In affect to create an air gap both sides - wall side and plasterboard side. Ive battened my walls already and thinking of applying the foil insulation to the inside of the battens and on the brick wall and then plasterboard over screwed into the battens. From all the research i find they say an air gap is imperative for radiant style foil insulation to work but i cant afford to lose more space by adding another level of battens. Just curious to see how you did it?

[@fearone9694]

A dehumidifier or improved ventilation would have been easier.

[@juliasavory]

@@matimusthegreat hello.you're describing my project. how did it all work out for you?

[@user-ml8dm9fz6l]

If you peel that off, will there be a ton of black mold on the wall? Since you didn't eliminate the cause, the dampness has to go somewhere

[@jimbob7924]

​@user-ml8dm9fz6l this is what I'm thinking. it will sweat underneath. the solution is to open the windows as much as possible and make sure you have air vents high up in the wall.

[@sallydavidson4471]

You did a great job adding the wallpaper! Nice straight lines and looked professional!

[@shermanhofacker4428]

I lived in a camper trailer a couple of years ago that had a lot of windows and a huge glass sliding door, spraying a mist of water on the cleaned glass stuck the smooth side of bubble wrap very well and helped a bunch in reducing heat loss. Also eliminated condensation running down and collecting in the window sill.

[@jonathanwright5550]

Sooo bubble wrap on my old plaster wall

[@ThomasWalker-m2y]

And if someone tried to brake in the bubbles would pop and they would think they were being shot at and run away. Talk about duel usage, Wow INSULATION AND SECURITY!!!!!

[@akbauer2525]

Just put a similar product over my old windows. The temperature is much more comfortable than just the shrink wrap over the windows like I used for the last 6 years. I'll also be able to reuse this every year. Wish I'd thought of it sooner.

[@shaywatson3856]

I've been using radiant barrier insulatiion in my 150 year old house for years. Some good advice... It comes in a variety of widths. You would save yourself a lot of work and money if you used the 48" wide roll. I buy 1000 sqft of the 48inch roll . so much fewer staples. WAY less foil tape, and fewer seams means fewer leaks. You can even drywall over this insulation, for those of you who own your homes. This is a well-worth it effort, but get the wide width and save yourself the work.

[@SheenaRea]

Good advice! Would you leave a gap between the drywall and the radiant material? The north side of my house is VERY cold and needs some help!

[@shaywatson3856]

@@SheenaRea I haven't, because I haven't seen the need. They are outside walls but on the inside of the existing lath and plaster, and I don't have to worry about moisture. Now, if it was a basement wall, or a place where moisture can accumulate easily, I probably would. I have even used the foam-core radiant barrier on the floor of my basement under the rug. I can be barefoot down there and feel no cold from the concrete floor at all. My basement is partially fully finished and the walls were insulated when that work was done before I bought the place. So the only thing I do there in the winter is just tack up a run of it behind me where I sit and I use one of those oil-filled radiator heaters , so it just blankets me with warm! If I ever have to take down the drywall there for any reason, I would likely install some before I re-drywalled it. My boiler went out 2 years ago, and financial constraints have prohibited me from replacing it. So the only thing I have right now are the space heaters I use in the space I am in at the time. So I have the exposed foil hanging behind me , but I can roll it back up and use it again next year. Hopefully I will have regular heat by then! But I keep it exposed for maximum effect right now. But t discovered how useful it was when I saw how COLD the walls behind my radiators were, even when they were pumping the hot water through. I LOVE my radiator heat, and I love these old monster radiators, but thought there must be massive heat loss right behind them through those outer walls. So I just inserted regular tin foil behind them to see if it made a difference, and WOW, it sure did. But it's really thin and not made for that, but was a good tester. So I bought a roll of the radiant barrier and cut pieces to completely cover the walls behind them, and left it uncovered because you couldn't see it anyway. Girl, I swear, I had to turn the thermostat down 10 degrees after that, and that is a LOT. For the first time, I actually felt it RADIATING away from the walls. In the dining room, I experimented with putting a little fan from an old computer tower on the floor blowing up into the fins of the radiator, and that pushed the air further into that room. It was a great hack. Not one I could use everywhere, just because I didn't have power sources close enough and the idea was to conserve money, not revamp my house to accommodate a computer fan, LOL. But get this! My bedroom actually has 13 windows in it, It's like being in a treehouse in the summer! I love it. But I burned my eyes one summer while installing a cobblestone sidewalk up to the front stoop, using crushed lyme as a base. The dust got in my eyes and I nearly lost my eyesight completely. But the pain from just the sunlight coming through the windows was excruciating. I could barely have them open at all, it was a nightmare. So I had some of the thin radiant barrier, the kind that is more like mylar, and put it up over all the windows, and it was just the filter I needed, It lets in light but very filtered light. You can't see outside through it, but no glare gets through it at all. I was able to be awake WITH my eyes open, It was a two year recovery from that so I am so grateful for that product, I don't know how else I would have gotten through it! AND, it keeps out the unbearable heat in the summer! I would highly recommend using it behind curtains in the summer for heat coming through. But the wider size as opposed to the narrow and more seams is the way to go! Also, I don't buy mine at the regular home improvement stores, I order it online. It's around $80 to $120 for 48" x 250'. That goes a long way! Shop around, prices do vary.

[@bertarue]

Thank you so much for making this video. I had no idea this could be done. I have an older home too so this product is needed in some of my rooms. Can't wait to get started !

[@onmyworkbench7000]

I have a metal building with sheet metal on the out side and on the inside, when the building was being built the builders put this insulation on the outside of the frame then put the sheet metal over the insulation. My wife and I installed the sheet metal on the ceiling and the inside walls but before we installed the sheet metal on the walls we installed it over the frame the put the sheet metal over top of the insulation and it is working great. In the U.S. that type of insulation is call dubble bubble insulation.

My big concern would be mold between the wall you're covering up & the reflect texts because it's going right up against the wall. Would be a great idea to do a follow up video in 6 months to a year to where you peel some of it off to see what's happening between the wall and the Is foil product

[@yarikfreerunner1]

Exactly.

[@Dave5843-d9m]

This insulation is a vapour barrier. Moisture cannot migrate through, so there will be no mould behind. It’s a fundamental requirement of any insulation system.

[@thomp9054]

@@Dave5843-d9m yep, there's never been mold in a house ever

[@dmjsvandal]

@@Dave5843-d9m I think both of you and Judy have fair points. As you say, no moisture transfer from interior to sheetrock, so the application is great for permanent, semi-permanent cold climates or hot dry climates. In hot, humid climates, the foil will drop to near dew point temperature in the spring, summer, fall by way of AC (over the course of days). The damp warm air from the inner side of the poorly insulated wall void will condensate on the back of the sheetrock due to 6-7 degree dew point temperature gradient. Then molding will begin

[@walley2637]

yes, there is a reason that vapor barriers are between the drywall and the exterior. if the wall is cold it will create condensation. she would see the same kind of heat retention by simply using 2mil plastic that foam core is doing almost nothing. this will definitely create mold. it would be better to put strapping on the wall then another layer of drywall if you don't want to address the real cause of the poorly insulated wall.

[@humberton2306]

Hello TUBA sorry I do not know your name, but TUBA is a nice name. I have renovating Historical homes and buildings for many years. I am happy to hear that you inform us all about the importance of an 'AIR GAP'.I was very impressed with your video to quickly improve your homes energy Envelope, using foil tape is very important. Every little bit of cold air will quickly add up to a substantial amount. Air flow not only improves the R-Value, it also prevents humidity trapped to rot the exterior sheathing, but only if the wall was removed to the original exterior. Again I liked the product you used in your video and would consider it in an appropriate job.

I had a challenge in my midlife, homeless but capable, I used reflectix for a 12x12 storage unit in Tysons Corner Virginia, lived there for a little over a year and it worked well in a non-heated environment on the outside of my unit. Moral to story: Pay yourself 8-20% of net salary for a rainy day season that can last more than 6 months, hopefully. But most of us do live beyond our means.

For moisture that condenses out of warm room air onto the cold wall surface - covering that wall means the space behind must be air tight so there can’t be a stream of warm room air feeding moisture to the area, which seems to have been accomplished here (?).

Seems some wallpaper made specifically for this purpose would be ideal, but last time I looked there wasn't anything available. As for wall board, I think there are some that are fire retardant BUT at some point of thickness you'll have a problem with it sticking out more than your window frames, and that's not good.

Could I do a bottom 1/3rd wall only...I have no sheetrock in yet..only insulation and stud walls...could I cover the wall stud to stud..or possibly need the solid surface...just trying to get thru a cold spot in TN..great work

Yes absolutely! This product is meant to be used like that stud to stud I just decided to use it over the sheetrock:)

Any chance of developing mold?

I would use cork panels. Its safer and breathable. Otherwise you can have issues with mold.

I need to insulate to keep the interior cool (air con). Do I use the same product?

"Infrared thermometers have good accuracy when measuring most objects, but shiny, reflective surfaces can be a challenge. You should be especially wary when measuring the temperature of shiny metal objects, but even reflections off of glossy paint can affect accuracy. Putting a piece of non-reflective tape (such as electrical tape) over the shiny surface or applying some flat paint gives you a target from which you can get a better measurement."
