[Greenbuilding] [BULK] insulated gypsum board

[Lawrence Lile]

As I was just saying to Nick, we've added 1.5" foam to the interior of a
brick building.  Yes, the windows were fun, but adding a rim of 2X2
material around the windows solved this problem in a straightforward
way, and provided a nailer for the last edge of sheetrock.

Subject: [BULK] [Greenbuilding] insulated gypsum board
Importance: Low



I'm looking to add some R value to the interior face of an existing 
masonry and plaster wall (an old loft building) without adding 
significant thickness to the wall. Is there such a thing as insulated 
gypsum board? Or another paintable finished material that could be 
laminated onto the existing plaster?

Adding more than 1/2" or so of depth to the wall will create 
difficulties with existing window moldings, etc.

Thanks,

David
