We will be doing a two extensions:
1. A 2-storey extension on the front of the property with a loft conversion on top of this (the roof of the existing property will be replaced to have one big roof space).
2. The other will be a single storey rear extension with a flat roof.
Would it be possible to make both of these extensions with wood (i.e. treated pine and OSB/plywood inside and out (is any one of these better than the other) and then spray foam insulation (to act as both insulation and a vapour barrier).
On the back extension we would want to put folding, sliding doors and render and on the front we would like to put an outer skin of bricks to match the existing frontage.
Is this possilbe? We know that houses can be made of wooden panels but not sure whther you can addd them to a brick building. Cost is an issue and we were wondering whether they can be made onsite or whether they need to be factory made.
Any advice much appreciated!
Thanks!
