On outside walls strip off plaster and install

be plastered direct.

Is this something that can just be skimmed, or do you need to apply the
usual two coats of plaster?

Skimmed. Some is pre-finished and may require plaster at the joints.

Thanks.

The R factor of some of it is quite high. Celotex and Kingspan and others,
have all the details. As you doing up a room installing this sort of
insulation adds value and eventually you may have far less need for heating.
