Hi I'm building a built in wardrobe onto an external wall. I want to avoid any issues with condensation/mould.
I am planning to put a 100mm insulated stud wall at the back of the wardrobe to keep the cold wall away from the wardrobe space.
Do you think this is all that is needed?
I have read people sometimes put little vents in or even a mini wardrobe heater (Screwfix sell one for £15). Maybe all of that is overkill?
When I put the plasterboard on the stud wall at the back of the wardrobe, do I need to keep a slight gap at the bottom to allow moisture to escape, as found when plasterboard meets skirting board?
TIA, much appreciated
Richard
