Digmixfill Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 I have a few dividing walls that go up to roof level between rooms. They all need some attention. The whole top floor will be vaulted (thanks @George) and the roof will have insulation between and under the rafters. I've been thinking about how to fit the insulation and VCL at these wall points. Do I shorten the wall a little and run the insulation and VCL over the wall? Do I take the wall up to the rafter level and insulate under the rafters up to the wall and VCL a down stand at the wall? My google fu has failed. I can't find a similar circumstance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would take the airtight vcl over the mid walls and down the end walls and join with a primed wall and airtight mastic/adhesive designed for joining airtight vcl to wall.

This was part of my thinking. It worried me that I couldn't find a single instance of someone insulating over a masonry internal wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
