Hello!
In our basement which is a walkout, we have a couple of built-in wardrobes against a bare outer wall. It's drafty and poorly insulated and I would like to improve it if possible. This wall is about 70% above ground. See image.
Can I put some kind of wind barrier and then cellulose insulation on the wall as much as I can reach, or could that create issues? I find it difficult to gauge when additional insulation might cause moisture problems in older houses, so I would like to learn more.
This part of the basement is an extension from the late 60s, while the rest of the house is from the 40s. No noticeable moisture problems today, it has been drained before with isodrän.
Thanks for all the help.
