Finally about to convert my single skinned utility room to be part of my kitchen and remove the doors and frames which currently divif=de the two rooms.
Here are my plans and questions if someone can give me a few pointers it would be appreciated.
1. line the walls with a PVC membrane.
2. Build a 4" X 2" timber frame on all of the walls with the footer lying on a PVC membrane.
3. Attach 4" polystyrene insulation directly on to the PVC membrane.
4. Attach palsterboard to the stud frame and dry line.
If anything here seems wrong please point it out.
Also is there any benefit in using foil backed plaster board and also what thickness of board should i use.
My final question is to do with the ceiling. Currently the plaster board is attached so that it is running at an angle with the roof. I intend to keep with the design of the existing ceiling but am wondering what the best way to insulate it is. Is it good enough to attach insualtion to the back of the plaster board?
Thanks for any help.
Also if anyone knows of any good websites showing the best ways to construct an internal frame/ constructing stud walls then it would be appreciated.
