Hi,We are converting our garage into a utility room by building a deviding wall and knocking through from the kitchen.
The garage floor is 3 bricks below damp so i have decided to build a small wall up to damp across the garage to sit my new stud wall on.I will be laying
timber joists and chipboard for my new utility floor.
I need to lay a damp proof membrane down and insulation.
2 Questions please.
1. what thickness membrane should i use.
2. Does it go under the wall i am about to build or do i build the wall first then
lay the damp proof up and over it on top of the damp proof strip which i will lay on my top layer of bricks under the stud wall.
I may not of got this across very well,sorry to sound thick but i'm not a builder.
