We have an old stone cottage with a later built solid concrete extension.
Now we have built another room by building just 2 walls to square up the house and am wondering about insulation and dryling.
We were told to pump new walls and insulate internally also. The 2 old walls are solid stone and the other solid concrete. The old walls are now going to be internal walls but have been external walls until now.
What is the best way to deal with these walls. We are thinking of using an isolated stud and insulating them also even though they are inside walls. This would help with cold bridging details where new walls meet old as we would be insulating internally for the entire circumference of the room.
Roof insulation can be easily upped to about 500mm quilt over the entire house
Any comments?
