    Hi There

    We’re renovating an old house and we want to insulate under the bay window which consists of lath and lime with timber support.

    I’m concerned that any insulation would need to allow the timber to breath or they could rot. I have attached a photo of the area. Does anyone have experience in this area and could they advise how to do it?

    Thanks
