hi guys ,
moving into our new purchase in a matter of weeks , and with any old cottage/bungalow , it has its fair share of problems! to begin with , im planning to get the rising damp issue addressed first off . beginning with stripping the walls of existing plasterboards , getting the walls treated most likely by getting pumped with a liquid dpc . my qustion is , when the damp proofing has been completed , what is my best route for insulation . ive had many varied opinions on this and needless to say , im very confused !
a friend had mentioned thermalboards and apply them straight onto the walls .
a different guy in a suppliers said that wont do your BER any justice and advised me against! i got other advice that i should leave the walls battoned out , insulate with a high grade insulation and board up with a foil backed thermal board etc .... all these suggestions along with my latest addiction "googling thermal pockets" has me quite confused ! as its a huge job , id rather get it right the 1st time ! any help , opinions and hands on experience would be greatly appreciated ! cheers!
