Hi all,
I'm attempting to work out the best way to fit celotex internal wall insulation into a building that is being converted for use as a "reptile room" (lizards/snakes etc in cages).
The building is an old farm outbuilding with 3 wooden doors, 2 of which will be screwed shut. The walls are double thickness solid brick and are quite uneven on the inside. Because of this unevenness I plan to build a stud wall from battens and mount the celotex onto these, then plasterboard on top.
So the wall would be as follows:
~200mm solid brick
Damp-proof membrane
38mm timber battens
100mm celotex GA4000
12.5mm plasterboard
Is this correct? If so, how do I mount the plasterboard/celotex to the battens? I had intended to use drywall screws through both into the wood, but I can't find any longer than 100mm (would need 140mm I guess); can I just use normal screws like these?
Thanks for your help!
