I am insulating the inside of an existing external wall. It leans slightly= outwards. My internal (70mm deep) studs are vertical and the insulation = goes between them, and plasterboard will go on top. Building control have a= proved the thickness of insluation. Wall is 100mm thick concrete block.
The insulation (Ecotherm =3D Celtotex type of stuff) wedges between the stu= ds but there is a gap behind it increasing with height because the wall lea= ns out but my studs are vertical.
Would it be better (1) to press the insulation right back against the wall = and leave the gap immediately behind the plasterboard, or (2) have the fron= t of the insulation flush with the front of the studs leaving a gap between= insulation and exterior wall. Maybe (3) it does not matter.
The gap varies from 0mm at the bottom to about 50mm at the top.
Opinions anyone?
thanks,
Robert
