Hi all,
Trying to sort out a separating wall for a garage conversion, could use some guidance on the wall diving new heated space and remaining existing garage area. New heated space will have door into it from house, garage will retain garage door into it, there will be no access through new separating wall.
Currently shown on detail a fire resistant stud wall on brick plinth. Can anyone confirm suitability of this brick plinth? I would assume it would be best ‘belt and braces’ approach rather than studwork on DPC/M existing concrete floor and also, in terms of retaining the concrete screed. Or would this be overkill? Perhaps even, it would be better with single course of block (saving labour time)
Additional info: existing single brick wall upgrade will be insulated studwork with 50mm cavity and roof will be existing pitch roof upgrade with rafters insulated between and under.
Would love some feedback on this.
Cheers, Simon.
