How to fix wainscot to concrete wall ?
Hello,

I afraid this solution becasue in main opinion growing risk of vermin in that slot. Based on yours experience, is moisture a real risk if I will glue wainscot to concrete wall (outer isolated) ? With greetings, Filo. |

With greetings, Filo. Filo: I live in the northeast USA and we do have to contend with moisture problems up here. I would not glue any wood directly to a concrete wall that was below grade where I live. Above grade, I probably would with less concern for moisture problems. Below grade I fir out the wall with at least 1x3 stringers, simply to ensure the air gap that you are required to provide. -- -Mike- |
