Dear Group,
This may well prove to be the first of several posts as I embark on bringing my victorian terraced house into the 21st century.
The (inside of) the outside walls of my house were badly in need of re-plastering and are now stripped back to the brick (solid 9 inch). I therefore want to take the opportunity to insulate.
Maybe I should have started with "how best to insulate a terraced house ?" I now have uPVC windows and doors, have had the roof refelted and have fitted between 270mm and 300mm of glass fibre over the new foil-backed ceiling boards upstairs .....
I have read conflicting reports about the best way to attach insulation-backed boards to the wall - ranging from "adhesive dabs plus 1 mechanical fixing per board" on a board manufacturer's website to battens (screwed not nailed) on a London Borough council's.
I have heard rumours of insulation-backed boards coming away around the "dabs" ..... I have in my possession some plastic drylining fixings :-
Any advice on how best to approach this would be very welcome ...
Jeremy,
