Choochoo Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Hi everyoneI was advised on this Forum not to put vapour barrier behind the stud walls when I cover the old stone ones but to ventilate the cavity behind. Does anyone know an effective way to do this ? Obviously I cant put ventilation grilles through from outside as the walls are so thick, much scratching of head at the moment.Thanks for any advice John & sue ( 50) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0Helen Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 Buy some fine holed ventilator covers and make holes in the plasterboard at top and bottom so ther is a free movement of air circulating in the space between. If the supporting battons are vertical you need to ventilate each inter batton space. If your walls undulate like ours, you will probably find in easier to batton horizontally to true up the wall [or if you are using lambris ] In the latter case leave gaps in the horizontal battons of a few centimetres, to allow the circulation of air. Glue the covers in place with no-nail or similar. If you do not want to leave gaps you could drill holes in the battons instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
