I know that similar questions have been asked before, but I am a bit confused, so I have made some sketches to try and remove any ambiguity.
I have a solid 9" brick wall on a victorian terrace. I would like to insulate it. I am proposing to make a framework and fill it with Kingspan or similar. Ive made some sketches below which I think show what I mean.
The room is a kitchen, so by building this framework it would also make it easy to do the various cable runs for the sockets, oven etc. And there is a lead water main that comes through the floor in an area where there are no units so it would also help with boxing this in. These are the reasons for me wanting to do this type of installation. I was planning on using 600mm centres on the framework so that I know that ive got a solid fix for my units and also it would tie up with 8 x 4 plasterboard sheets.
After reading up on the subject I am now not sure that my plan is right. A lot of people talk about damp, There is no damp in this wall at the moment, it is very dry considering the age of the house. Could my installation method could cause damp as there is no gap between the wall-framework-plasterboard?
Is there any other issue that anyone can see?
I was hoping to get cracking on this tomorrow. [/quote]
