We had the attached garage converted to a habitable space sometime ago. Quite happy with the usuable space but it is no very warm, no where near anything like the house, is this normal, atleast difference of 5 degrees?
It is a single wall garage but the builder built proper stud walls (treated timber battens) inside with 80mm insulation panels behind the paster board leaving few cm of gap inbetween the stud wall and the brick wall. The garage loft was also well insulated. There is a proper radiator installed that comes on at the same time as the house.
The floor was not dug or insulation. As far I remember there was some plastic sheet (dpm) under the concrete. I have used Cloud 9 Cumulus 11mm Thick Carpet Underlay before laying the carpet.
What can I do to sort it out as it is not warm as other rooms are?
