I'm looking to convert half my garage into a 'habitable' room so will need to meet the regs for insulation. Looking elsewhere here, I can see the following layers are suggested...
From the outside in:
Cladding
25x50mm battens
building paper
9mm wbp ply
100mm studwork
100mm full fill insulation
vapour barrier
Internal finish
Currently however the walls consists of just...
Cladding
100mm studwork
Internal finish (ply)
Given the difference, it's looking like I'll need to remove the existing external cladding to add the building paper and ply.
My question is how best to handle the dwarf wall (roughly 6 courses above dpm) that the existing timber frame sits on, so that the resulting interior finish is flush across both parts? It's currenty a solid wall of 2 bricks thickness (with no cavity), so will require some form of insulating.
