By adding insulated plasterboard direct to the walls you are removing the breathability factor and this means the moisture cannot escape through the walls like it used to. The owners need to install extractor fans or similar around the house otherwise they will have big problems further down the line.
I recently found out about trickle vents and have gone back to all my clients for whom I installed my warm wall system and suggested they fit them. Thanks for your comment.
I’ve just built a single story extension The bi folds have trickle vents does that mean I can just use the fixings and screw the 37mm plaster board to the walls
Don’t forget to tell the homeowner they will need to fit a vent on that old fireplace opening or you could be increasing the risk of damp/mould onto that wall.
@@SurgenorplasteringGood idea, would wooden battens be okay and screw the PIR to the battens? I'm not sure on foam as it might fail! Edit what mechanical fixings you used?
You’re doing a great job! Really inspiring me to expand my skills.
Thats buddy glad i could help.
Thanks for the very informative video Guys.

Yea the client was told this and they had a spark there to give them a price.
@@SurgenorplasteringThanks. What are the plastic plugs you use to SDS the boards to the wall? Do they create cold bridging ?
its callled window trickle vents. you DO NOT install extractor fans !

A good video, What type of wall fixings do you use. ?
First time I have seen a guy in panty hose working on a building site. Whatever floats your boat my friend.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 they are bjj spats but wouldent mind a pair of pantt hose lol.
Did it make a big difference ?
Yea it defk dose.
It looks like you covered a ventilation brick with the first board. Was that closed off on the outside?
Yes it was indeed.
Nice. Finally someone shows how to do window reveals! Will the mechanical fixings create a thermal bridge to the new boards?
Yes, it's possible, but if you want to stop that, just stick them with expanding foam and prop them up until the foam drys.

@Hew.Jarsol yea battens are good i jave a video coming up in a few weeks doing that they are timco hammer fixing.
How did you add radiator to plasterboard?
What fixings are these? I'm doing the exact same job soon!
what are the wall fixings?
Does this help with dsmp
Damp no, condensation and mold on walls yes.
@@Surgenorplastering I've already got alot of damp, and the government scheme said they will do internal wall insulation would this make it worse?
was this property rendered on the outside or exposed brick. mine is exposed brick bit people have told me i need to batten first because of this
If the wall is damp or its a solid wall no cavity then yea batton it out.
@@Surgenorplastering thanks for ur reply
Np at all thanks for watching.
@@Surgenorplasteringif there's a cavity do you still need to batten it out?
The only time i would Batten it out is to level the wall or if the wall is damp.
