Is it worth installing drywall over a brick wall to make the room warmer? - installing a floor in an aluminum
I moved to Italy and bought a flat. The houses here are not the insults and the United States, they have brick and plaster it all. My room is a wall, the kind of cold in the winter was out. I have new windows and the cold goes right through them. All wall just too cold. I think on the walls. Between the two, I put a sheet of material, which is about 1/8th inch thick. One side seems to be aluminum and other materials spongy. I think it is generally used when on a parquet floor (between the basement placed).
You think this can work and my room at least one or two degrees warmer? You can also put the drywall directly to the wall with screws and dowels or plugs, as I in the good old USA?

Not knowing where in Italy, and I trade, the smiles. I am in Florida.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, if the material is available, without doubt, can help to isolate, to. I have no idea suplliers in Italy, but with the new developments, there are great designers and I think that the suppliers are comparable to those here from HD / Lowes.
I suggest you firring band, anchored in the brick could amount CONS press here in the States. The brick is easy to pierce with a little mortar. If possible, which you describe is possible, a provider of foam sheets of construction quality to be found, as well as sold here in the States in various thicknesses and cut to between the bands that firring must fit on 16-inch centers will be installed. I think what is used also depends on the height of the land and housing can be dispensed with. I 2x4 stud and 1 / 2 inch drywall consume approximately 4 1 / 8 inch of floor space of an area as a whole or any wall.
The distribution was similar in size to go to Mexico, but perhaps metrically measured? A 4 x 8 sheets of 1 / 2 inches should StIll should be installed with the help, and whether you firring strips or rivets and bolts of adequate length, the facility would be similar methods here in the United States.
Certainly, to describe a piece of paper, much more than surface reflections, to help before the brick can. Be used even without having a heat source, regardless of the temperature rising to 68 degrees probably stay in a room, often with the aid of blankets, etc., should be fine.

A little too hard to cover the bricks. I like the surface of the inner wall, but I like it too hot, he smiled.
as usual, according to Steve ... Plowing and tap insulating polystyrene foam, I do not know if I can go all the disadvantages of Tho. might try to shoot nails into the mortar joints and see how they think, and on a table, and if you move when you are done, created, you can press them.You can with the bankruptcy regime between rod bands. .. just an idea
ReplyDeleteHe was a brick house a few years. You must set placed in isolation on the walls with nails, and a frame every 18 inches apart stud on the side of the sheet in the room. then the drywall. Use nails to regular production, rather than 2x4. They are longer. Make sure the window frames, putty and paint. Who should really help. Good luck. If you turned the wood to masonry wall must nails, screws or whatever you have available for masonry, such as the United States to use the good ol 'A
ReplyDeleteIf it is an apartment and not a condo, then I would be careful what I share, without the permission of the owner.
ReplyDeleteSomething as simple as a blanket on the wall could help decorate, and isolate a bit. If you the chance to do what you want, you can change the language of the panel, use 1 or 2 strips to run, you install the plasterboard, then use the foam insulation behind it. Ciao
It appears that even use nails to fix the pavement, the bricks with masonry screws and hardware safely as we talk about this problem is a kind of isolation. (I would say barrior between the pins with a plastic moisture between it and the Council of the insulation.) Operation of the renovation of the house was a wall outside help. Then, use wire mesh and covered with plaster and it looks good, like a wall of stucco. With the insulation, which could certainly help your problem! (Be careful when you are back on the wall when done.)
ReplyDeleteThe point of an interior wall, the other beauty of simple, that is to keep the insulation. If you put drywall in a frame of 2 "x 4" or equivalent quantities, and place of fiberglass, polystyrene or other rigid separation between the studs. So you're ready to dry on the inside. The leaf material that sounds like you mention, such as insulation, and it's not your problem.
ReplyDeleteYou do not need to a total depth of stud wall than many think. Or you use wood, attached to the tower of brick, metal, or hat channel. The metal is more likely in Italy, that the Europeans do not build half-timbered houses. It is 1 cm deep and is attached with nails or screws in walls. Place the paper-backed insulation between the "nails" and walls. Drywall in the regular metallic structure (in fact, was what) invented for.
ReplyDeleteI ran wide in the forest belt along the length of 1 / 2 inches and put 1 / 2 inch insulation behind the drywall before nailing strips and heat the hall. /
ReplyDelete"No, I filled sheet rock nail brick. Nail the strips to the brick and stone nails it with a copy to the sheet rock to rock bands.
Yes, a lot hotter
ReplyDeleteIf you are not a homeowner why use something as thick as 3 / 4 "blue foam board. Baguettes wood along the wall when mounting to drywall. In the absence of the plug in the wall is well developed. Need concrete screws, which amounts to save.
ReplyDeleteI think you try to suspend oriental rugs or curtains hanging on the wall. Quickly and cost can be easily removed when to leave you. Cheers
ReplyDeleteIn terms of polystyrene insulation is the best, you must ensure that no holes or cracks in the wall with no holes or cracks in the polystyrene, a very close coordination between the uprights is required. Development of a plastic membrane over the entire structure before installing the drywall even sure that there are no holes through projects blow. This will cause condensation in the room cause is not going to freeze in the wall and then.
ReplyDeleteTwo centimeter polystyrene is the best, a lesser thickness will make a difference, but do not go under a tariff
This seems a very expensive undertaking. Such layers of clothing can be more profitable? Wood is the No. 1 U.S. imports in Italy. Have you checked the price and availability?
ReplyDeleteHow do you go?
"When in Rome do as the Romans do." (and wear).
Another proposal, compare prices for the installation and use a fireplace for heat, instead of making with blocks of plaster on the walls sweat and cold. Just be careful not to break the heat to crank over the plaster. I visit this site on Google:

Standard batt 3-1/2 "Fiberglass insulation is an R-factor of 19 to give. (R-factor is a measure of the resistance) against thermal conductivity. A piece of 5 / 8" drywall R factor nearly on: 1 any type of insulation between the wall panels was, the wall would be an improvement.
