Help & advice
Up to a third of the heat lost from uninsulated homes escapes through the walls - so consider insulating while you renovate! Insulation can be installed easily in stud walls, cavity walls, or fitted on top of solid walls (either by attaching insulation boards or by building a stud wall). However, not all homes are the same so speak to a professional to understand what is best.
The Reno floorplanner allows you to choose between three types of wall: external, solid, and stud.
Knowing the difference between different wall types is important for understanding what can be mounted on it. For example, if you want a wall hung toilet, a solid wall is fine, but a stud wall may need to be reinforced to support it.
How to identify a solid wall (or brick cavity wall)
How to identify a stud wall
Stud walls are typically made of timber and plaster. These walls are lightweight and hollow, so can't support as much weight as a solid wall.
