I'm about to start a small drylining project and wondered if anyone in that business on here?
I have two downstairs room sitting on a 125 year old freezing cold gable end, no damp issues in the gable end but we get a lot of condensation issues simply due to how bloody cold the gable end gets during winter.
I have decided the only real way forward is to dryline the two rooms on the gable end wall, initial thoughts are as below.
1. take off original plaster back to brick (messy but easy)
2. repair internal pointing as i suspect the 125 year old walls might need a bit of TLC with sand and cement.
3. batten out with 50mmx25mm wood to give a 50mm recess depth.
4. 50mm tight fitting kingspan TP10 across the whole wall surface between batttons (450mm witth?)
5. waterproof membrane across the whole section once compete stapled to the battons.
6. then complete with fire lined plaster board and thin skim.
reading up this should bring the thermal efficiency of the wall way up and hence cancel out the issue?
any thoughts?
