Hi,
I live in a 50's bungalow, that is solid blockwork. We have had it externally insulated, and have fitted Kingspan between all floor beams, foamed and taped. The whole place has been re-skimmed and new windows and doors throughout.
I appreciate it's hard for anyone to answer, but is this work (I think it's done well) likely to make a PIV system ineffective, as there is a lack of places for the stale air to get naturally pushed out? We didn't go about it aiming for eco-home status or anything like that.
The external insulation and under floor made a huge, huge difference to the condensation mould we were suffering from. Now we just get bits in areas where the air doesn't flow very well and are cooler - mostly our bedroom in the corners, and under the bed.
We have a good kitchen extractor, and a large inline bathroom extractor, but neither run in a continuous mode.
Many thanks!
Tim
