In this CPD PHT Patron Ecological Building Systems will discuss the impact of moisture on solid stone/brick walls, considering the causes of moisture ingress and how walls function before and after applying insulation. They will cover the necessity of moisture management in solid masonry walls and the importance of using diffusion open materials.

They will use case studies to share best practice examples of various solid masonry wall insulation systems using breathable materials to ensure building structural safety and longevity.

This training is aimed at professionals from all disciplines of the building design and construction industry who are interested in the management of moisture in buildings with masonry walls and are looking for robust breathable internal wall insulation solutions.
