Transforming Garages Into Useful Rooms
By transforming garages into stylish, energy-efficient living spaces, we help homeowners unlock the full potential of their property while creating beautiful, functional rooms built for everyday use.
Garage Conversion Step 1
Remove The Garage Door
A garage door is simply made to function as an entrance or exit of a car and is not suitable for the comings and goings of people. The fact that it is not aesthetically pleasing is only part of the problem.
Garage Conversion Step 2
Walls & Insulation
External walls come in two basic types: Solid walls and cavity walls. A solid wall is just that – one layer of bricks forming a wall. A cavity wall is a wall with a hollow centre inside of which thermal insulation is filled. Only a cavity wall will do for a room designed for human dwelling.
Garage Conversion Step 3
The Knock Through
It is popular for many conversions to have a ‘knock through’ or a door fitted between the house and the new conversion. Some prefer an archway rather than a door, either way, a concrete or steel lintel is used to contain the structure of the wall and a door or arch is then fitted.
Garage Conversion Step 4
Flooring
The majority of garages have thin slabs of cement as floors. This floor might be can be removed or replaced. However, we often prefer not to tear up the old floor, but to build on top of it, such as adding what is called a suspended timber floor.
Garage Conversion Step 5
The Garage Roof
The roofs of most garages are already water proof, but the vast majority of them will need to be upgraded to serve as a roof for a comfortable room. The process of upgrading generally involves adding additional insulation to the roof, again to ensure the house doesn’t loose heat and to satisfy building regulations.
Garage Conversion Step 6
Finishing
Most of our customers request at least one radiator and all of the work is performed by a registered plumber. It is advisable that all plumbing work should be carried out by a qualified plumber or when gas is involved, a registered Gas Safe engineer.
