I have just picked this up on another forum.
Quote "We dont usually recommend the bore hole insulation,because damp will still rise vertically via the iron posts in your main building structure.We have done the cheaper version for a few people now,including our own-ie removing old plaster,drying out,using sealant then waterproof plastering again"
Quote "The blocks are hollow you would never properly insulate the damp, you would just be wasting your money, these builds out in Turkey, (most) are single skin hollow pot blocks the terracotta type so how is the insulation going to work...it won't" Unquote
Now i credit myself with more than an ounce of sense and although i'm no expert,
even i can work out that this is total c**p!Correct me if i'm wrong but since when does iron soak up water and isn't it logical that doing it this way you would still have the same problem next year.
Maybe No-Nem could answer this one for me.
