How long after bricking up a window can i insulate the inside (single skin)

angliojoe · 28 Dec 2022

Hi all,
I've just bricked up a old window in single skin outhouse and want to put in 100mm kingspan, board and skim the inside. Could you tell me how long i have to wait before getting cracking with kingspan and plasterboard? As its single skin i thought i could get started quite quickly as it could dry from the other side? Does that work?
Thanks,
Joe.

So long as you aren't driving fixings into/near your fresh brickwork, you can get going now. By the way, mortar doesn't dry; it cures and it needs moisture present to do so.

Great thank you, I’ll get cracking in the morning
