Good Building Guide 50 Insulating solid masonry walls
Publication Year

Abstract
The increased levels of insulation proposed by building regulations may present, in some instances, technical challenges to cavity and framed construction. In these cases, it may be appropriate to consider specifying solid masonry construction for new build. The objective of this Good Building Guide is to highlight some of the risks associated with solid masonry walling and to provide solutions for improving the thermal performance of this construction form.
