Events

This event starts with a talk about How to Insulate Solid Walls by Ecological Building Systems, which will cover...
- The impact of moisture on solid walls
- Primary drivers of moisture ingress
- How the wall functions before and after applying insulation
- The necessity of moisture management
- The importance of using diffusion open materials to ensure structural safety and longevity
- What to avoid and best practice depending on the property and condition of the existing wall
- Solid Wall Internal Wall Insulation Case Study and Discussion
- Summary

The event will conclude with a site visit to a local house in Rosley (5 minutes from the hall) that has installed Diathonite Thermactive Cork Lime Thermal Plaster internally to stone walls – guests will be able to see the different stages of the insulation process and watch Diathonite Thermactive being hand applied to a traditional stone wall.

This is open to over 18s only, as it involves a trip to a building site.
