I was just wondering if anyone has a better idea? I am planning to insulate an old slaughterhouse to make it usable as a workshop even in winter. The plan is to remove the paneling that is mostly rotten and shabby, to add insulation, and put on a new facade. The first problem is that the framework is 80mm and the insulation I was thinking of using is 70mm (Hunton wood fiber board) and then add 45mm extra insulation. Is there something I can use to fill that extra centimeter, or is it overkill?
The second problem is that the slaughterhouse is built with a masonry wall about 55cm above the concrete slab. I was thinking of solving this with Bewis plasterboard and 3cm plaster. Does this setup feel right, or should I do it differently?
Thanks and goodbye.

How will you attach the board to the wall? I'm planning to do the same, that's why I'm asking.
Byggmax sells some type of facade plug that I plan to use. I'm also thinking of attaching a reinforcing mesh/chicken wire on the outside so the plaster doesn't crack.kristofer12345 said:
Aha, please show how you drill and fasten it so maybe I can do the same on the concrete wall I have!H hhenning said:
You just drill through the board and into the wall and insert a plug. On isodrän's website, you can see how they do it. I don't think you necessarily need any reinforcement mesh, but it can never hurt, I think.
I have plastered on cell foam before but haven't hammered in plugs, that's why I ask, but I'll check. I can say that if you don't want cracks in the long run, then lay a mesh. If you're not sensitive, it's not needed, but I would still lay it at the joints as that's where you'll get movement first... tip.H hhenning said:
