My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

How is the wall insulated?

13 years ago
I'm renovating a house that has 8-inch thick brick walls (structural), and would love to leave them exposed in the bathroom, but I'm not sure how to seal/insulate it.

    This wall has typical 2" x 6" framing and insulation behind interior stone veneer. One of our PMs think adding any insulation to an existing brick wall will change the look either inside or out. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to contact our office, (406) 586-1500.
