How to tackle this straw board wall?

[vrytir]

Can I use backer board which I would stick to the straw wall. If it is good idea, what can I use to stick it to wall.

If it was me, i'd probably give it a good going over with SBR, then stick some moisture resistant plasterboard over it with dry-wall adhesive, That stuff's called Stramett board acorrding to my old man....how they ever got away with studding walls in it ill never know!

One of the bigwigs said lets go Green with straw and save the world....

But why in my house:incazzato:

I am thinking to use tile mate board which I want screw and use either mortar or adhesive to stick it on this straw wall. What should I use. morthar of flexible adhesive? Or something better?

I would get rid of the mould, a coat of dry wall adhesive forced in the straw with a plastering trowel just to bind it together....when that has set use plasterboard dot and dabbed and tanked....

Have you got room to frame out the wall, and then board it??

If i were you i would rip that down, I have the same walls (had the same) in my flat.

I pulled down 2 in my own bathroom & 1 in my kitchen, they are a bit of a bugger but they will come down.

I managed to put a reciprocating saw through them & took them down in sections.

The reason i had to take these walls down was so that i could put pads in the walls to carry radiators & a shower.

They werent very straight either.

I've only come across this once, in a flat on the west side of Barnton, Edinburgh.
The covering was thin ply. Had to take the ply down and then reboarded.
