HI
I have a collection of single skinned rooms joined to the back of the house, (a coal shed, utility room, toilet). All constructed on a single brick wall, (ie; not cavity wall).
I'd like to make something out of these but being single skin, concrete flor and flat roof they are COLD. I'd like to board them out to keep the cold and damp out. Not too fussed about building regs - these are just for us to use not to advertise.
The Plan is;
1. Fix 25mm x 25mm exterior timber to the walls
2. Nail heavy gage polythene sheet to the battens
3. Glue / fix rockwool insulation to the polythene, inbetween the battens
4. Screw 'green' plaster board to the battens and tile or paint
Can anyone tell me if I am about to make a huge mistake, have missed anything out or should do something differently.
Kind regards all
