Damp Proofing in Saltcoats

Extensions such as garage conversions will often require extra damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the existing garage routinely has a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing will need to be added to walls and floors. Furthermore, the roof of the garage conversion will require water proofing. The damp proofing for the floor of the garage conversion will in most cases be achieved by by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane is available in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be put down either on top of the existing concrete floor, below the new floor, or as part of both, depending on whether the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls will have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved as part of the conversion to be able to meet current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be carried out by either using damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already in the garage. Damp proofing is an important part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to adhere to, and so is it vital to make sure that your garage conversion makes use of suitable damp proofing methods.
