Hi -- I'm renovating an old property. It's a former agricultural building, about a hundred years old, and the walls are two skins of brick (well, brick and mixed rubble and other junk) faced with flint in lime mortar. It needs proper insulation, but I'm conscious that there can be moisture issues where an old house needs to 'breathe'. Is the right thing to do to mount something like this (https://www.ecomerchant.co.uk/steic...EMAIL_ID]&mc_cid=461db9764b&mc_eid=4b36733a66) on the walls, since it allows moisture to dissipate? I'd been assuming that I'd have to use insulation board battened out from the existing walls, and to install vents behind them to allow air to circulate. If this saves me all that work -- and adds less to the thickness of the walls -- then I'd prefer to use it. Also, if I'm way off-base, I'd be grateful for any advice. As ever thanks in advance.
