The EPS has had adhesive fix around the whole perimeter of each block and any gaps were then foam filled.

I am wondering what the best way is to finish of the internal surface? - especially with regards becoming as airtight as economically possible? Options (if I have understood correctly) -

1. Parge coat and then dry line
2. Wet plaster throughout
3. VCL to wall/ceiling then batten and screw fix plasterboard leaving a service void
3. VCL to wall/ceilings, batten and fill void with 25mm celotex but leaving an air void for services, then plasterboard

or dot dab plasterboard straight onto block work but ensure perimeter has continuous adhesive given that external wall has no cavity and has EWI with render - thereby hopefully stopping the wind getting through?

Hopefully clay plaster. Not just because it looks so nice but to take advantage of its ability to absorb pollutants, including managing humidity by absorbing and releasing water vapour.]]> https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12185&Focus=203871#Comment_203871 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12185&Focus=203871#Comment_203871 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 01:28:11 +0100 Donkey https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12185&Focus=203879#Comment_203879 https://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=12185&Focus=203879#Comment_203879 Wed, 18 Jun 2014 09:08:51 +0100 tony
