Right i'm making my mind up & i'm going with a treated timber stud wall 10mm away from solid brick walls high spot, using 3x2 timbers. My heating pipes & cables will be behind the studwall & insulation. Will use kingspan 75mm inbetween framework then dryline with vapor check board. If...

these are my very 1st posts in desperation to solve some of the many probs I'm facing to complete this house before my 1st baby arrives. didnt know the etiquette. sorry wont happen again.

darn, you caught me! :oops: So many options i'm not sure whats best. I'm now sure i'm going to have to build a stud wall in front of the existing wall but Metal or timber? The gypliner universal doesnt require me to level the wall 1st & studs will be true. but it requires me to use...

could i use gypliner universal to build metal frame just off the walls high spot then insert insulation & board over with thermaline? Timber studwalls i've built (i'm no expert here either) seem to suffer from the timbers being warped in one direction or another. Thought it might be easier...

cheers, Have been looking at the link & think gypliner universal might be best bet. Have been trying to remove all the old plaster today & is pulling away too much wall with it, esp around base of door & window. Also window reveals are not square from inside to out, the inner wall is...

Cheers, need to just get this clear in my head though. are you saying to use 35x50 trated battens screwed directly to the brickwork vertically then use foil backed boards vertically mounted? If so i take it i can still install insulation between the battens. also ( sorry but i am new...

so if i want to use thermaline plus can i batten direct to brickwork & boards on? really want to avoid building stud wall in front of brickwall as there is too little room to lose any more. Also whats best, cheapest & easiest way to protect electrical cables if using a polystyrene backed...

Okay i have started to remove all the plaster & render back to brickwork much to my wife annoyonce! Now do i batten the wall or build a stud wall? If i build a stud wall how far away from brickwork do i build it to allow air gap? do i treat the brickwork 1st? will having heating...

I have a solid external wall & have removed all the old plaster from it. Should i batten it with 2x1 battens with insulation inbetween, vapour barrier & then plasterboard? If so do i run battens horizontal or vertical? Should i treat the brickwork with anything 1st? should i use treated...

not bought any boards yet just trying to work out best way to go about finishing this wall? If its a solid external brickwall & i plaster board will the cavity between the boards & cold solid wall cause moisture to form & eventually mould? Or would this only happen if damp was already an...

Thanks pbd, How do i avoid the non tapered edges? My ceilings are 2.6m & the boards only 2.4m so if i have them vertical i'll have a non tapered edge near top & bottoms & if i run them horizontal the non tapered edged will be between every board. how are you meant to avoid having the...

I am renovating my 1900 terraced house & would be grateful for some expert advise. The origanal plaster was well shot & falling away in lumps exposing the brickwork on the front external wall. this is a solid wall with my front door & 1 window. I want to dot & dab plaster board to ease...
