The work on my bungalow is ongoing and I cant believe that it was back in December 04 that I started asking questions. Everyone keeps telling me I must insulate the walls on the inside and by everybody I mean builder, architect, and engineer but after reading the posts on here I am against it. However we have now reached an impasse on one issueand I dont want to do sometging now and regret it later. So here goes.
I have demolished the existinng flat roof structure that was either a garage or another room next to the bungalow but attached to bungalow and left the wall adjacent to the door or etrance hall still standing as it formed part of an arch for front porch. This wall is cavity towards the rear as the boiler house was situated there,then it is single block when it gets more inside. I wanted the builder to take off all the oldplaster to this wall on the side that was part of the old room and put on new plaster. The presnt palster is badly marked as water came in through flat roof sometime ago. Builder agreed but when I had architect and engineer around they said I MUST have this wall dry lined. When I queried it they said I would have cold air meeting warm and that would form mould!! By my way of thinking this will be an internal wall and I am putting up a pitched roof, also putting in a porch door. So should I opt for that Kingspan Insulation board and not dry line or can I go with my method??
Hope I have made sense.
noah
