Dry lining Kithen

[Jimdiychancer]

I am drylining my kitchen.

Existing plaster on brick with 25 x 50 battons and 25mm jablite insulation board and 12.5 mm plasterboard.

Do I need foil backed plaster board to reduce moisture and mould?

Personally I wouldn't bother, I would however fit some ply or OSB to the walls before plaster boarding more so if cabinets are being hung there.

What sort of thickness of ply or OSB would you recommend?

With battens on 400mm centers and a foam bond between fixings I would opt for 12mm ply or 18mm osb. A good fat woodscrew into that will hold lots of weight.
