The insulation will bridge itself, at times, at some pointabove the solid fill and to prevent this a brick should betied to a long string^ and kept moving along the wall untilthe filling is done. This type of wall insulation is one of the earliest in useand is now almost discarded for the more efficient and eco-nomical type illustrated by Figure 99. 174 INSULATION The additional room taken up by the inside wall andthe wide, hollow space, becomes too wasteful in a buildingwhich occupies high-priced property. There is also dangerof the inside wall being damaged in case of fire causing theinsulating material to run out from the floors above. Wall Insulation In Figures 99 and 100 are illustrated the usual methodof applying cork board insulation to brick walls. The firstlayer of cork board is applied with Portland cement mortarand set so that the vertical joints are broken. GLMLNT ^AOtJ,T^:ir acoox. bo^Q-DPU^ATLa——.
