currently have a single brick detached garage. flat roof (new). slab floor.
a) i intend to insulate the slab directly on top with some sort of insulant. then flooring timber on top of this. (WILL THIS BE OKAY)?
b) what do i do to the walls. i need to keep the wall as thin as possible but with max insulation as it will eventually be habitable. do i :
fix studs directly to brickwork, insulate between studs then fix plasterboard. if so how do i stop any penetrating damp.
or
leave a cavity and build a timber stud all round walls so that the timber is not in contact with the wall.
if i was to use membrane how would i fix it.
cheers
