[QUOTE="renewablejohn, post: 7958496, member: 1136"] The thing you have to understand and backed up by the research is that a thick DRY well pointed solid wall is a very good insulator. What you describe been there got the T shirt but also the solutions. Your right with ventilation I have virtually sealed my house with no opening windows and scandinavian double seal doors. Now sealed because were animals all the moisture we generate needs to be extracted so I have installed Partel MVHR units which are very effective at extracting the moisture but still retaining the heat in the building. The units work in pairs so as one unit extracts the other unit pumps the same volume of air into the building. As for mould thats just a feature of modern paint and damp walls. A quick roller over the mould area with neat bleach (make sure you wear safety glasses so you dont get bleach in your eyes) and the mould will magically disappear. For insulation on solid walls so long as the walls are thick and dry I would always use a lime cork product. Its not only the walls which is important but the floor as well for which I do like the foamed glass solution with underfloor heating and no plaster bridging between floor and wall. [/QUOTE]
