Hi
I want to insulate a solid brick wall and it’s been suggested I use insulation backed plasterboard and glue it on.
This is fine, if you all agree, but the wall isn’t straight, it’s about 2 inches out floor to ceiling. The new plasterboard would therefore be the same, so it would be great to resolve this as well.
I’ve been told using batons screwed to the wall isn’t a good idea as it creates a vapour bridge?
So what options are there? Build a new thin stud wall in front of the brick wall, without contact between the two, other than perhaps glue?
All suggestions are welcome.
