I am going to use 100mm blocks and will put damp course in at the bottom and i guess there s no harm in adding another where the existing one is just to be over cautious.
Blocking up a garage door.
We have an attached double garage with bedrooms above looking to block up one of the garage doors with brick and add a window and or a door.
However embarrassingly when coming to measure up for materials ive realis.
Eventually i wish to render the outside.
We have no intention of changing the use.
My plan was to build a stud frame fill with insulation and plaster board both sides.
I am blocking up the garage door as per the photos.
9 nov 2016.
It s currently covered in stone which is pretty solidly set onto the garage.
This will later become one of my main wood storage walls.
The next stage in the process of converting garage to a modelling space is to block off my garage door to eliminate draught etc.
Blocking up the garage door makes a huge difference in the workshop both in terms of noise and heat insulation.
It also gives me a really strong wall to hang stuff on.
