Do you have a traditional building, and don't quite know how to treat your walls? Are you looking for advice on how best to insulate your stone or brick walls? Back again for the spring series, join us on Facebook and YouTube live for #InformFriday.

In this free livestream session, Historic Environment Scotland experts Lila Angelaka and Roger Curtis will talk about solid walls to help you understand more about your older building.

Solid walls are one of the defining features of traditional buildings. And they often need the right materials and techniques for their repair and retrofit. As part of this, we will look at the role of lime mortars in solid wall construction and how to repair them. With the need of energy efficiency on everyone's mind, we will talk about how they can be insulated, and what to look out for.

You won't need any prior knowledge about the subject, we will cover the basics. Submit a question in advance by emailing technicalresearch@hes.scot.
