    Passivhaus (or Enerphit) retrofit. Mid-terrace house. Solid brick walls. EWI to front and rear.

    What about party walls? What should we allow for?

    Preferably something that only takes up 50-80 mm (especially on the stair case)

    On a serious note though, some great stuff on Energy Savings Trust website (not to self, must use EST website more):

    The Marmox video shows a a tilebacker board, why not use a simple thermal laminate board i.e thermal insulation of which there are several types ready bonded to a rigid building board,i.e plasterboard or the like? Styroliner is one of the originals but there's lots of them available
