Insulating Stone Wall Before Plastering - Too Many Options!
Posted: Wed Oct 22, 2014 12:04 pm
Hi,
I'm a bit of a noob so apologies if any of this is daft.
I would like to plaster the inside of an 18 inch exterior stone wall and thought it would make sense to insulate at the same time.
The celotex / yelofoam insulation boards seem like a good idea but from this and other internet resources there seem to be various options and my head is spinning a bit!
1. Batten -> Insulation -> Plasterboard
2. Batten -> Insulation -> Moisture Barrier -> Plasterboard
3. Insulation -> Batten -> Plasterboard
4. Moisture Barrier -> (air gap) -> stud frame inc insulation -> Plasterboard
The main priority for me is keeping it simple and I'm happy to spend a wee bit more if it saves hassle.
Option 1 looks simplest but do I need a moisture barrier?
Thanks!
