Hi all, Im going to be bricking up the bottom half of a full height window, A false wall was built inside the property years ago to cover this bottom half of the window so the bricks will be single skin toothed into the existing wall. With regards to rising damp we have a dpc. Im a little concerned over rain though and want to ensure we don't suffer with penetrative damp.
The existing false wall is 100mm away from were the new wall will sit. Am i best off leaving this as an open cavity and sealing this single skin of bricks with a liquid dpc or membrane with battens and cellotex/Kingspan or is there any better ways. Building a proper cavity wall would require ripping my living room to pieces and isn't an option right now.
Any help is appreciated here im a little lost which is best way to go
