Dry Lining House Walls

jims-terrano · 18-11-2022, 00:45

This might be one for Rick but happy to take advice off anyone.

My living room has 3 outside walls, the outer skin of the house is stone and the inner skin is breeze block. The house was built in 1969 and at some point one of the owners had cavity wall insulation installed, it’s a kind of foam stuff.

So my question is that I would like to dry line 2 of the walls possibly a stud wall against the existing outside walls with Kingspan type insulation covered in plasterboard.

Is this likely to encourage damp or will this be fine?

Thanks
