How to Internally Insulate Solid Stone and Brick Walls

June 10, 2021 @ 4:30 pm - 6:30 pm

Attend this two-hour session to learn about the challenges including moisture management, techniques and materials for internally insulating traditionally built properties with solid stone and brick walls.

The seminar will cover:

– The impact of moisture on solid walls
– Primary drivers of moisture ingress
– Building physics and how the wall functions before and after applying insulation
– The necessity of moisture management
– The importance of using diffusion open materials to ensure structural safety and longevity
– Thermal insulation materials: types, uses, environmental impact
– Using natural insulation to reduce CO2 emissions and energy costs
– What to avoid and best practice solutions depending on property and condition of existing wall
– Case study discussion of proven approaches
– Installation and application guidance to avoid pitfalls
– Discussion of various solid wall insulation systems using scaled ‘real-life’ practical models
