Damp Proofing in Lochgilphead

Extensions such as garage conversions will typically require extra damp proofing to be installed during the conversion, as the existing garage normally has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not designed to conform to building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be put into walls and floors. Furthermore, the roofing of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will usually be performed by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane can come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be placed down either on top of the existing concrete floor, below the new floor, or as part of both, depending on if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this might have to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to adhere to current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed to be able to safeguard the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This is carried out by either using damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to adhere to, and so is it vital to ensure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.
