Hello,
I'm converting my garage into a self contained annexe/granny flat and am looking for some advice on what order to do things.
I need to build a few stud walls for the bathroom and a large cupboard, but want to know whether I should do that before or after insulating.
On the floor I'll have about 100mm of kingspan (or similar), followed by chipboard and then engineered wood.
And on the walls I'm going to use insulated plasterboard over battens. On the pitched roof I'm insulating between and over the rafters.
So my question is do I put in the stud wall before or after I insulate the walls, floor and roof. It would be easier to do it first, but wondered whether this would risk creating cold spots/thermal bridging.
Also, at what point should I get the sparky and plumber for the first fix? After battening but before the insulated plasterboard?
Thanks in advance!
