Type of flooring,Pal said:As I said in my first post I have the ideas/knowledge and am not worried about getting stuck in but like to be certain of all the options so as to avoid certain emembarassmen then talking to building control.
You wouldn't need to use coach bolt + wallplate,instead you can have say 3 sleeper walls + 4"x2" joists on top of it.More solid this way.Pal said:From a practical point of view, I do favour option two. Once I have coach bolted the two wall plates horizontally I can speedy hanger across, strut if necessary and lay some chip board on top. Sounds easy!!! Am I underestimating the job or overestimating my ability? Hope not.
You say you have 9" to play with,so 3" of hardcore on top of your concrete base (you can use pea shingles or 3/4" ballast) then soft sand on top of the hardcore with dpm on top and past the building dpc level on the sides then 4" concrete on top the dpm (take care not to damage the dpm) then finish off with 2" floor screed (sharp sand + cement)I'm not getting much feed back about sealing the old concrete garage floor (I believe the slab is approx 10 inches thick). Do you have any views? I will of course talk to Building Control to see what he requires.
I would go for dot 'n' dab as you can set it level with a spirit level and no nails hole to fill in.Pal said:I am now thinking about plasterboarding/insulating the walls/ceiling, but cannot decide on wheter to dott 'n' dab insulated boards or batten and insulate between then plasterboard over.
