erm, no mention of any DPM or ventilation. You are just asking for
condenstation to form on the, now cold because of the insulation, wall
behind polystyrene.

I know. My original post was specifically asking about how close you
can safely put a woodburner to plasterboard so I didn't mention every
detail of the dry lining.

However, this leads on to another point that I'm not sure about: I've
read that the DPM can be attached with "staples". What kind of
staples?
