Hi,
I have a problem in my daughters room, when it gets cold there is a build up of damp on the wall. This is due to the fact one of the external walls is solid block, the other is cavity and the other 2 are internal, obviously the damp is on the solid wall. this is not rising damp as no probs down stairs. The dampness has not helped as the room is papered(trapping moisture). this is only a problem in extreme cold weather. But I vowed to make it dry,and freshly painted before winter. Now there are a few ways to do this from what I can make out, but that all depends on who you ask. Some people say, insulated plasterboard, some say celotex then plasterboard, some say battern and board, and then theres foil backed plaster board.. . the room is small so dont want to loose 100mm on a wall. Then theres the fixing dot and dab, battern. i have had so many ideas of how to do it. I am more confussed than when I knew nothing. So think I will just go with the majority.
Will foil backed plasterboard 12.5mm (cheapest option) work, and would you dot and dab or battern? or insulated thermaline plaster board be better? would you dot and dab/battern etc? celotex?
