 Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 12:37 pm Post subject: Boards and Skim in a garage |
  |
|
|
I have been asked to board and skim a garage as the customer is a neat freak and doesn't want block walls exposed in his garage.
(his porsche apparently wouldn't look good parked in amongst blocks although who will be looking apart from him beats me....)
This is not a garage conversion and the garage door will remain,,my question is......
Will damp be a problem with the boards? i plan to dot and dab to the block work and skim using multi finish as usual.
Any other mehtods for this sort of job??

| I'm assuming this is a single brick garage ?...if so dot'n'dab may encourage damp. I would have thought you would need to leave a gap between outside brick and plaster board so studding may be required together with vapour check pb. Clearly this will reduce the width of the garage - will the Porsche fit! |

| If there is no air gap won't condensation form on the touching surface (boards) on the inside? may be more of an issue in a building where it is warmer on the inside than the outside. |

This is what I did when converted my garage into a cinema, It shows the studding which is about 4 " from the wall there is also a vapour barrier that is not in the picture behind the studding. I then filled the gaps with fiberglass to help with warmth and for soundproofing, then two layers of 12.5mm plaster boared was screwd to the studding. I then plastered the walls and the cieling which again had 2 layers of plasterboared.

hi steve
most garages are single brick.....
dont listen to the guy who said if the walls are dry should be ok..
whats dry today may not tomorow..
best solution is to render and set using a waterproofer.
you could stud out but thats to dear and takes up to much time.
tell your customer it will be good for 10 years plus.
if you tell him this least he will know give him the option of dyzoneing his walls all my customers who have had a garage done has had it...
remember dont put your muck and pink to the floor.
