Hi there folks,
Our house is all mass concrete walls with no insulation at all! We're about to strip all the very old wall paper off the walls and replace with paint. But I was thinking this would be the perfect time to internally dry line the external walls of the house.
Now not being an expert, my understanding is that the insulated plasterboard panels will be fixed directly to battens which are in turn fixed to the walls. Obviously radiators and sockets, etc will have to be repositioned.
However, my concern is thermal bridging to the internal walls. Can I just dry line the external wall to where it meets the internal wall or do I have to dry line the internal wall as well to prevent thermal bridging? And if so, for how far away from the external wall?
Hope my query is clear but i think this might be an issue. Thanks.
