Finally, I'm going to get started on the garage construction. Insulating the existing building is on the agenda, and I'm looking for tips and advice. How would you have done it?
Let's start with a picture of what the walls look like today.
So, paneling on a timber frame. No battens on the paneling, so it's quite drafty (an old manure pile, so it wasn't meant to be very tight back then). I want to keep the facade as it is because it's part of a much larger farm building that should look "original" on the outside.
The space will be heated. Double gypsum because there will be welding in it.
So, I welcome all feedback. How would you have done it, from the inside out?
My tip.
Nail 12mm luftläkt directly onto the panel from the inside. Then stretch up windproof fabric. Nail a beam along the sill, as wide as the horizontally placed beams. Then nail beams cc 60 with dimensions so you level with the middle beam and the diagonal brace. Insulate, possibly install a plastic film, and plasterboard.
I think AG A has a good proposal. But I believe that asfaboard is better than wind barrier paper.
And think about it a bit so there's no risk of the entire wall construction becoming damp from the sill upwards, and then being absorbed upwards, moisture from driving rain and drifting snow.
In such a case, it might be appropriate to build a separate "house within the house."
That is, build the garage's walls and roof independently, without touching the old structure.
View the gap as an "expanded air gap"
