Hi all,
I’ve started doing my garage conversion. The garage is 2 skins thick but there’s no cavity (solid wall).
I’m wanting to brick up the bottom of the original garage door opening. It’ll be matching bricks on the outer skin and block work on the inner skin. I’ve installed 2 lintels side by side to take this brick/block work which has been signed off by building control. They’ll be no cavity. The insulation will be on the inside.
They’ll be 2 rows of engineering bricks on the outer skin before the normal bricks start. As I’m doing blockwork on the inside, the heights will be different unless I cut the blocks down. My question is should the DPC go across both skins but go up vertically to the block height and then across the top of it? Sorry probably a basic question!
Thanks, Jon.
