I am thinking of converting a garage, which is a modern garage, half brick wall on concrete floor. How would I meet insulation requirements with the floor? Presumably I would have to build the floor level up with slabs of insulation and then a screed on top?
For the walls, can a 100 mm block wall be build internally , with a cavity, or would the existing floor not carry the weight. How can I know how wide the existing footings are, or if the existing floor is thick concrete or just a screed?
Would an alternative be to make a timber frame against the eixsting wall with insulation inside it?
Any more general points on this type of conversion please?
