Anonymous user 16/03/2024 - 2.39 PM

Hi i own a detached house (approx build 1940's) solid brick wall. during the winter months the internal walls - corners of the house get really cold and causes condensation. i wanted to know the best way to rectify this issue - would internal insulated plasterboards do the job? thank you

There is a few ways to do this. I would personally put cavity wall insulation in through the brickwork then treat the walls inside with a damp proofing cream then repaint but maybe you might want to try the damp proof cream and paint first.

Hi Given the house is solid... (no cavity)! I generally use an insulation liner; “Wallrock KV600” Thermal liner pasted to cold walls. This (along with good ventilation) helps to prevent condensation. I hope this helps Regards Tony
