My house has solid sandstone rubble-filled walls. The through-stones can be particularly porous to external rain. Also, there is no damp proof course and the bottom 1.5m suffers from rising damp. Most walls will be block lined. However, due to space limitations, some walls will be dry-lined. I intend to insulate all external walls using 60mm of polyurethane (PU)insulation, but I will retain the thermal mass of the internal walls.
Does anyone have any views/experience on which dry lining systems work best (to avoid damp and condensation)?
