Development in an old building
published: 10/05/12, 19:48
Hello
I plan to do a medical practice in an old garage.
This one is on the ground floor of an old stone building located in the south of France.
The walls are stone, thickness 50cm.
Solar gains: none
I aim for a good thermal comfort since the patients will be bare.
This therefore implies good management of humidity (rising through the walls) and insulation.
1. How to manage the humidity of the soil (clay) and the capillary rise of the walls?
2. How to insulate well for good comfort?
I had planned a wooden frame inside (with air space in relation to the walls), placed on a concrete screed.
Wood paneled walls and wooden parquet floor
Interior insulation in wadding.
The concern is that the wadding poorly manages the humidity.
We recommend aerated concrete or brick.
Problem is that brick tends to cause cold walls.
In addition, the two materials are not very good insulators.
What about the walls and the concrete screed?
Thank you
