slacker that thing about building permits can vary, but generally, you're right. Even Höörs municipality has used it as an example... http://www.hoor.se/MiljoBoende/Bygga--bo/Bygga-i-Hoors-kommun/Behover-jag-bygglovanmalan/
Borrowing the thread briefly to get an answer to a question. I'm going to build a garage with an insulated concrete slab, 90mm insulation in the walls, and 120mm in the ceiling. How warm can you have it in such a garage without paying a fortune in heating costs?GoForIt said:
I am not an expert on that question, which (without being impolite) is difficult to answer without knowing what you consider to be "a fortune in heating costs"? You need more factors for a more accurate answer.Anna1984 said:
Maybe you'll get more inputs if you place the question in the forum for "Heating general".
Thank you for the help so far.
I'm aiming to keep the asphalt as the floor.
To seal between the wall and the asphalt, I thought you could place a wooden batten on paper and kind of nail it down or something. But you suggest lightweight concrete blocks. Do you just lay them there, or should they be mortared? I imagine they'll be thicker than the wall, but maybe they come in different sizes. And then a batten on this with paper in between?

Sounds wise, you can build up a floor structure later if you get tired of the asphalt. Yes, there are different sizes, but the most common is 19x19x59cm. Feel free to mix some mortar that you place under and between the blocks, I'd guess about 1 cm thickness. Then you do exactly as you wrote... tar paper or some other type of sill seal between the sill plate and the blocks.
