My house is solid walled house about 100 years old. The back of the
house floor below the window is about 2ft below ground and this wall on and off suffers from condensation, its has a bitumous barrier behind the plaster. I wondered about sealing some tri iso super 10 behind plaster board, or plaster backed celotex and attaching (screw of nail?) to the walls, is this a good idea or do I need an air gap as well, what would people recommend? Thanks |

The concrete is not very strong or thick on most of them. I would make some angles out of builders band and fix it to battens and then to the bolts holding the panels together. it will give space to put some fibre bats behind for insulation. |
