I have an integral garage which we have now partioned off three quarters of it to build a home office.
This leaves a small garage at the front with up & over door and the new room we have created is accesed from the outside by a single double glazed door only. (No other access)

i have read that ventilation may be required?

Can anyone advise on this.

Thanks

It should be vented to the open air. You might have a petrol lawnmower with a leaking fuel tank in the garage and which won't exactly provide fresh air to the office.
Put a cat flap in the door?

The requirement is for ventilation not extraction.

Why can't you just put a vent in the door, the frame or the wall and not make something which is easy, complicated?

A vent in the door look ****e

Im just not gonna bother. Im not sleeping in there. Simples.
 
A trickle vent is about 15mm thick! Same colour as the door or frame, and you are saying it will be so noticeable as to affect the whole aesthetic?

Are you sure ventilation is the only requirement if you have created a heated office :?::!:
 
OMG its the monster vent thread.

Listen, you need 5,000 mm² equivalent area of trickle ventilation, and rapid ventilation equivalent to 1/20th of the floor area - ie open the door.
