Hi Guys,
I'm thinking of converting my garage into a playroom.
At the moment it consists of 4'block walls and concrete floor.
I'm planning to fix a waterproof liner to the walls, stud frame about an inch away from the wall, insulate with polystyrene sheets and line with a 12.5mm foil back plaster board and lay a damp proof sheet to the floor then lay polystyrene sheets -2 inch, then woodchip t&g flooring. so i have a floating floor. The ceiling will be insulated up to 300mm in thickness then covered with a 12.5 mm foil back board. then the room will be skimmed with plaster.
Do you think this is a decent way to tackle this project so in the future if the room is converted into a habitable room i will meet building regs requirements with minimal additional work needed.
What other ways could a waterproof the garage and will i need a vapour barrier on the outer side stud if using foil back plasterboard.;and if i do can i use the fabric roofing rolls now being used instead of the old roofing felt?
many thanks
