[QUOTE="ProDave, post: 477378, member: 6969"] What exactly is this? It sounds like the external stud walls of a timber framed house. At the moment I see no mention of a gap between d and e. I do quite a lot of houses like this, and you need to educate the architect / builder. What you need is the wall structure with all insulation completed. THEN install 25mm by 50mm timber battens following the line of the timber studs. This creates a service void for all cables. Plasterboard goes over the battens and fixes to them. Very conveniently, 35mm back boxes fit nicely in the 25mm void plus the 12.5mm thickness of the plasterboard. As it happens I am off to one exactly like this tomorrow where the spec is almost identical and I have already warned him what he wants is virtually impossible. When will architects and builders learn? I could also ask where is the airtighness membrane, but that is an even harder one to persuade builders to fit. [/QUOTE]
