Hi Everyone,
I'm thinking of insulating my internal walls - it's a end terraced house constructed from solid 9inch brick walls. I have condensation problems also, as a result of that, especially in the winter when the heating is on, i get mould on the corner of the internal walls of the exterior wall (i have checked for any water leaks from roof/loft and all seems fine, but have been told by a brick layer that it's mainly due to no insulation in solid brick homes)....
So for this reason i'm thinking of insulating the internal walls to help with the above problems and mainly to maintain the heat.
Has anyone else done this project themselves? I have been looking at thermal insulation boards.
I would like suggestions/advice prior to proceeding with anything.
Would it be advisable to remove the plaster from the affected area's (where there is mould) until the bricks are exposed and then dot and dab the thermal boards onto the bricks?
