Installing A Floor In An Aluminum Is It Worth Installing Drywall Over A Brick Wall To Make The Room Warmer?

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?

  1. Not knowing where in Italy, and I trade, the smiles. I am in Florida.

    Seriously, 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 should be here in the states of similar size, even if such a metric? 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.

  2. really not sure, but I would like to build a framework for the nails and put the insulation and cover it with gypsum ... If you have something that is faster, may well be rubbing the wall to lose all those things and maybe try http://www.stickwithpl.com/ProductsList PL construction adhesive to achieve. ... in a small area to see if it - Just A Thought Works

  3. 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

  4. He was a brick house a few years. You need to frame the walls with nails and a stud placed every 18 inches apart, in isolation, put 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

  5. If it is an apartment and not a condo, then I would be careful what I share, without the permission of the owner.

    Something 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

  7. 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.)

  8. The 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.

  9. You 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.

  10. I 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. /

    "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.
