Conservatory Full height wall question

[clubb699]

Hi all,

Well ive been working on the dwarf wall my question is looking at the picture.

You can see the dwarf wall 600mm nearly done on the right side and to the front and left but i will need to carry on to 2100mm up in total on the right but whats the best way of doing this with the bricks on the outside wall? as i will be using 100mm thermolite blocks for innner skin, just cant seem to get my head round this one.

Im kinda thinking that i u shape the bricks and seat them on a stepped back thermolite block within the inner skin?

Oh yeah and a big up to all the brickies on here this is my first time and now i fully respect the work you lads do, damn im aching today

Thanks for your time
Lee

Sorry, no idea what you mean. Thats probably why you have no replies.

Are you just talking about how to close the cavity? Just build your brick on up and create the opening wherever it suits the bond. Then simply run a bit of 4'' DPC up the cavity side of the brickwork then a strip of insulation for a thermal break and then return your blockwork onto this.

Of course leave yourself a small amount of brickwork showing past the blockwork in order for your window frames to sit against.

Or forget all that and use a pre-made cavity closer.

Or if you meant something totally different then re post what your on about?

Hope this makes more sence basically were the dwarf wall stops going higher on the right, above that do the bricks loop back onto the thermolite blocks onto the inner skin or vice verser?

Ps Edit r896neo you replied just before i did so not sure if we on about the same thing sorry

You need to show facing bricks up to the point where the plastic window defines internal and external masonry.

The point at which they meet ('they' being the blockwork and the brickwork) are normally separated by a layer of vertical d.p.c.

So you would return the brickwork to the thickness of the cavity wall then step the blockwork over the cavity so that it butts against the bricks but is kept apart by a layer of d.p.c.

Alternatively, you can continue a cavity gap (i.e. no abutment with d.p.c.) and use a proprietary cavity closer.
