Hi I’ve been hunting around and can’t really find the answers I want for my outbuilding conversion.
I have an existing outbuilding with single skin.
It currently has poly membrane against wall then batting that stops below floor height , 25mm polystyrene. There is a gap between pad an wall I guess it’s used as a little drain and on top MDF panel to sub floor. Dpc is 2 brick up.
1. remove MDF keep place and blackjack floor and walls. 3 coats people have said.
2. Block up the back end windows replace side door and door end windows with double glazing. Replace sliding door with oak door as main entrance.
3. Replace 25mm polystyrene with 75mm celotex except piers have 25mm.
4. 50 mm airgap and sole plate around room.to place new stud work In and decouple from ceiling.
If I fill the stud with additional 50mm celotex Double foil or use a vapour barrier on roomside stud. I can’t have inwall surround speakers and also how do you fit backbox and electrics ? Back box is 50mm as deep as the stud?
8. Plaster board 12.5mm
9. 100mm celotex on floor with chipboard floorboards
9. Fit Fabrics track To plasterBoard
10. Fit 50 mm broad band absorbition rockwool slabs and it round sockets wiring speaker cable etc on stud wall
11. Bulk up ceiling insulation and tie insulation in with wall.
13. Fit ceiling covering
14 . Fit fabric
I’d really appreciate some help in ensuring place will be damp free and resolve wiring paths and any other tips.
I’m hoping to hide everything away behind the fabric wall
I’ve not decided on pj or 85” tv
