Breeze block partition walls

Oct 11, 2010 1 Replies

Hello,



All the partition (non supporting) walls in my house are built of breeze block directly onto the floorboards. In some cases not even directly onto joists.



I am thinking of dot'n'dabbing one of these walls but I am a bit worried about the extra weight this will give the wall.



The breeze blocks are made of that nasty black ash type stuff so light weight blocks.



How can I determine if adding plasterboard & adhesize to these walls will be safe?



Thanks,



Graham


It is. The extra weight's trivial compared to what even a badly designed house can support.
