Hi all,
simple qn, but being a relative noob, I cant think of a solution to this problem!
I am planning to insulate my double course solid brick wall using celotex. Plan at the mo is to use 50mm batten, infilling with 50mm celotex and covering with 30mm celotex tb4030, thisHopefully sorting out a lot of my homes insulation issues. However, this will leave me with 92mm on top of the existing wall at recesses. This isnt too much of a problem for sills, as I am getting solid oak ones knocked up. However, how do I tackle to vertical sections of recess? As its a cold surface, they WILL get damp. can I simply bond and plaster, or would you use thin ply to box out first?
I have the design for the studding and insulation sorted, having looked online, I cannot find a solution to this problem! Any hints/Ideas? I havent the space to insulate inside the recess, we are planning to get heavy curtains to minimise heat loss at these recess locations.
