Hi All,
We live in a 1895 stone cottage in Wales. No damp course.
I have recently knocked through a fireplace and plan to rip out some alcove cupboards either side of the chimney breast. The cupboards are quite damp and unsuable inside - a mixture of rising damp and not being aired enough.
We plan to put an 'occassionaly used' log burner in there.
See here:
We have solid stone rubble walls and these alcoves and chimney are on an exterior wall.
I'd like to insulate this whole wall - i.e. alcoves, chimney breast and exposed stone inside the chimney opening.
Whats the best way to do this?
Tanalised battens, plasterboard and kingspan?
