Hello,
I have a semi-detached house built in the early 1900's. The front and back of the house are solid wall (no cavity) and the side is cavity wall, or so I have been told.
We are planning to externally insulate the back solid wall and insulate the cavity at the side. However, because of the period brick work to the front we do not want to externally insulate the solid front wall.
Question: Is this a good idea? Or will it create problems for the front wall if the other 2 walls are insulated and that is not?
Note: on very cold winter days when we raise the heating there is even more condensation on windows at the front of the house.
Thanks!
