Fixing PlasterBoard Backed with insulation

mpooley · 6 Feb 2015

Hi
I am going to add insulation to some Brick/Block walls. preferably using mechanical fixings.
I would prefer to use plasterboard backed insulation around 60mm thick.
for simplicity.
Could someone advise me what fixings to use and what length please.

Thanks

Mike

80-90mm drywall screws onto 25mm thick tanolised battens, screwed to the wall.

Thanks.

I was hoping to fix straight to the wall. I wanted to get max thickness of insulation with the least impact on the room size

I have heard about some special fixings which can be screwed straight into the wall but can't find them.

If your fixing them straight to the wall your walls have to be 100% straight or near on you don't need mechanical fixings for IP just d&d it.

If it's straight on to bare brick consider th moisture aspect and use of vapour shield

I thought that the foil backing and foil tape would be ok?
