Morning all,
Have just started to prep for converting a 3m x 3m section of the garage into a utility room,
So far I've laid a row of bricks to raise the floor level eventually and for the sole plate and Dpc to sit on for the stud wall.
I can't find a clear illustration for the setup of the stud wall. I'm going for a floating floor so this will be laid on a Dpm.
Do I lap the floor Dpm over the course of brickwork and then fit a dpc aswell before the timber sole plate goes on?
I'm going for 25mm celotex on the warm side with taped joints and 80mm between the studs as this would make a VCL from what I've read. Does the breathable membrane go on cold side and do I have to lap this under the soleplate aswell? If so between which layer?
With regards to securing the stud wall, am I best to avoid fixing into the external double brick wall of the garage to avoid damp and would it be wise to fit a vertical dpc in here aswell?
Thanks.
