Hi,
Once again I need to dip into the fountain of knowledge that is AAM!
I'm planning to dryline inside 1st floor bedroom wall. Wall is 9" cavity block and room is very cold. I am going to use insulation backed plasterboard of approx 40mm in total to reduce effect on room(Built in wardrobes to external wall etc). My questions are
1. Can I fix these boards direct to the wall with some sort of hammer in fixings. I don't want to batton wall if possible or use adhesive.
2. If I can fix direct to the wall do I use foil backed board or is vapour barrier required (Plastic Sheet etc)
I intend on completing job myself including plastering and just need to be clear on the right way to proceed.
Thanks,
Maddad
