Currently converting half of the cold garage into a relaxation room with a hot tub and underfloor heating.
I am now about to build out for windows and insulate the gable wall (exterior wall). Right now, it's framed with roughly sawn timber that doesn't easily adapt to insulation, new studs, etc.
So, I plan to replace these standing studs with 45x195, then insulate with standing 195 insulation.
On top of that, I will add 45x45 and insulate with horizontal 45 insulation to avoid thermal bridges, then on the inside, I plan to put plastic.
The issue I'm facing is how and what to use as wind protection, should I use paper?
What's the easiest way to do this correctly? I know it's more complicated to insulate from the inside, but that's the option I have. I'm attaching pictures so you can see how it looks today, feel free to share comments and tips
on how I should proceed, and I'd appreciate suggestions on whether I should use paper or some type of plastic.
Many questions, but I hope some kind soul can give me a few tips
I was planning to work on this over the weekend, hoping for some help before then
I have little knowledge of wind protection. Vindpspp should work. Otherwise, I think you should place the vapor barrier inside 45 iso. Then it is better protected. And you can run electricity inside the vapor barrier.
Are you planning to replace the studs one by one then? If so, it's at that stage that you slap on the weather barrier (wind protection foil/breathable weather barrier is much better) break off one stud, put on the breathable weather barrier, and then put up the new stud.
It’s moving forward, the gable is framed and ready for windows and insulation.
Now I’m considering what to do with the truss in the middle. So, there’s a truss, then the next one at 120cc, then the gable. It’s the one in the middle that I’d like to modify to create a "ridge roof". Does anyone have any ideas on how to proceed? Should I put a beam from the first truss to the gable and let the one in the middle rest on it and cut away the stud that lies between the walls? Or should I just "rebuild" it in some way so I can remove the stud in the middle and thereby set the roof as a ridge?
I hope you understand my thought process and I’m very thankful for answers.
You probably need to have a pillar at each gable where the ridge beam rests.
You should also not have joints on the trusses. It may occur at the truss supports.
Place the ridge beam on the pillars and make sure each truss beam gets a screw connection to the ridge beam.
After that, you can dismantle the truss section and the underbeam.
Okay, it will be a bit difficult for one side where the wall is now, that wall needs to go, so I can't have a column there. Is there any way to modify the roof truss so I get a higher ceiling height than now?
