Hello dear homebuilding team,
I have purchased a semi-detached house and would like to build a partition wall between the terraces. It should be about 9 meters (30 feet) long and slope down from approximately 2.80 meters (9 feet) to the property boundary.
My question is:
Do I need to remove the exterior insulation boards, or can I connect the wall directly to the insulation, which I would prefer? The wall thickness will be between 26 and 30 cm (10 to 12 inches).
I appreciate any advice.
Kind regards
