Hi all,
We are in the process of rebuilding the outer shell of our conservatory / extension which is currently split (partition) as a bathroom and small storage area. At present, the structure of the building consists of thin wooden Victorian walls and a lean-to felt rood. It is in a very bad state and the room is always extremely cold. We would like to replace the walls with a more solid structure, that is well insulated and would allow heavy fixtures (wall units). We were thinking of using the brick - gap (for insulation) - concrete block approach for the bottom of the walls with windows across the top 2/3 rds (not the bathroom section) but this would eat up on the very limited interior space . Are there any alternative cost effective approaches that would produce a well insulated space that is thin as possible, can handle fixtures and can cope with a lean-to tiled roof?
Thanks in advance.
