I am about to invest in an insulated sectional garage door so would like to improve the insulation of the rest of the garage. The garage is part integral to the house so the rear half has cavity walls to support the cavity walls of the upper storey. The "bit that sticks out" in front of the...

I need to replace a garage floor that has cracked in a few places. I was going to put the DPM in because there's not one there at the moment. We use the garage to keep the washing machine in as well as the car. With this in mind, we were thinking of insulating the garage floor with...

I'm getting an extension built with double garage and bedrooms above. The builder has priced for insulating the upstairs and not the garage area. My question being do I need my garage insulating, is there a benefit, I take it long term if I ever need to convert it would be an advantage...

I am wishing to convert my garage into a store room which will store my paper documents, electronic and photographic equipment. Consequently it needs to be heated and most importantly insulated to reduce heat loss (and electric bills) The garage walls are constructed of single thickness...

Hi, I am going to be partitioning off a section of my garage and then insulating it. I will be putting 47x50mm battons on the wall, using kinspan/celotex foil backed insulation, followed by plasterboard. My question is should I use 45mm or 50mm thick insulation board, i.e. should I get the...

I realise that garage insulation questions are pretty common on here, but I'm more interested in asking whether or not it's worth me doing rather than how to do it. I've got a brick-built detached (1978) house with an attached garage of the same construction (also pitched roof) but...

Evening On a garage conversion, renewing the ceiling and have took insulation down to run cables and pipes. Wondering, Now the garage is a habitable insulated room. Ian the insulation between ceiling and 1st floor bedroom above required?

We have an attached garage with a side entrance to it from our hall way. The internal door between the house and garage is just a standard 30mm thin veneered/vented door and also has a cat flap. Needless to say we're getting a bit of a draught and having recently spent a small fortune on new...

I'm about to start building a new garage / workshop in a few weeks. The garage is only going to be single skin, mainly because of space and money. The garage is going to have a pitched tiled roof and be built with concrete blocks then rendered. What could I do to insulate the garage. I was...

Hey all, My house sits on top of its garage and I feel much heat is being lost from the 'ground floor' into the garage. Now, I've never taken apart any of the ground floor, but I suspect beneath the wooden floorboards is some existing, original insulation. Then between that and the garage is...

Hi, we moved into a 1970 built bungalow built on a hill, and the bungalow has a double garage under the house (plus storage across the remaining footprint). The house is very hard to keep warm and it feels like a lot of the cold is coming up from the concrete floor. The ceiling of the garage...

Hi! I have an integral garage. The rooms above were v cold, so I insulated between the joists (approx 10cm thick roll) from below and had the garage ceiling plastered. Despite this and already having cavity wall insulation, the rooms above the garage are still v cold. I am trying to decide...

I have a room above a garage and it gets cold. The garage below has a boarded roof, so I’m unsure if it’s insulated. The roof is relatively low, so an additional insulation overboard and plasterboard seems extreme. The room above was done about 1 year ago, in hindsight I wish I’d insulated...

The room above my double garage is very cold in winter .There is some fibreglass insulation between the floor joists but it is not practical to apply extra without taking up all of the floor boards and skirting etc. The garage ceiling has one layer of fire resistant plaster board fitted to it...

I am going to get one of the apex double concrete garages and use it as a workshop i want to insulate it and have seen the Airtec Double foil Insulation will this be enough insulation for the roof and walls? Thanks Dave

Hi all, I'm looking to insulate the garage and make it into a bedroom for a rental property. Does anyone know if it is best to build a timber frame and fill with Celotex or equivalent or use insulated plasterboard? Insulated plasterboard would seem simpler and probably work out cheaper so I'm...

I have a roughly 20 y/o house with an internal garage. The garage door is single skin metal, and doesn't seal around the edges or bottom very well. Inside the garage the walls are airbrick, and ceiling is plastered. But there are cracks where the plaster meets the airbricks. I feel like we're...

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...
