Hi all,
Was hoping to get some advice on a project I am undertaking whilst I have the time. I have a detached garage that I am planing on converting to 3 separate rooms (two home offices, and storage room) I want it all to be insulated as best as possible and will be adding some IR electric heaters.
I need a couple of pointers to get going.
floor - planning on a floating floor (on top of dpm) with 50mm jablite like this : https://www.diy.com/departments/jab...ation-board-l-2-4m-w-1-2m-t-50mm/26826_BQ.prd
will this be ok to simply lay 22mm chipboard on top? Worried about the rigidity/ compression. (The slab is level)
Walls - I am going to use timber studding with insulation for sound and thermal. Shall I use 3 x 2 or 4 x 2? What’s recommended?
also is it best to build the walls, and then lay the floor, and if so if I drill into the concrete through DPM is this ok?
Or do I attach the walls to the floating floor (worried walls will move if floor moves this way??)
thanks in advance!
