This is how to turn a garage into an extra room. This DIY transformation is simple to do and provides an extra room in the house for growing families. We used timber to frame out the brick pillars and then attached the plasterboard / drywall to the bricks. We also built an internal wall to seal off the room and provide a small storage area when the garage door is open.

You make it look so easy!!! Inspiring to do myself...I want to renovate my garage and believe I can do it. But I would need the tools to. Thanks for a great video and tips.

Great idea with the roller door storage . A great option than replacing with glass.

@Serel25 3 года назад

This is a very low cost way of doing it. For people asking I'd say under £500. Good job man 👍🏽

A vapour barrier should be installed along with your insulation. (It’s a special plastic sheet, different mil. thickness available). Check the placement of the vapour barrier based on you climate. The vapour barrier should be installed properly around vents and sealed using special tape to maintain air impenetrability. The installation didn’t meet any building code I’m familiar with.

I like that they kept the garage door and made a functional space as well. What I hate most about garage conversions is the exterior and the driveway going up to a wall, leaving the garage door makes it look aesthetically pleasing and natural to the house’s exterior

If only a conversion were that simple in the UK. There's so many regulations around insulation, access, heating, etc, etc, that it makes is much harder. Glad you or the customer were happy.

@wynandboshoff8953 4 года назад

Nathan Brown The regulations here are quite strict too. I could be wrong but I’m assuming that they were the customer and that the planned conversion wasn’t certified as a habitable area prior to commencement.

@jayrag123 7 месяцев назад

I'm a student of RU-vid DIY channels. This job looked like something a homeowner would do instead of a pro. How could they put drywall in front of the garage door with no plywood or insulation. And the garage door will probably get water underneath. They didn't try to make any attempts to waterproof that opening. Maybe the homeowner gave instructions to do a quick and cheap job.

@anthonychapman3234 4 года назад

Hi I’m wanting to do this to my garage for teenage sons, how much is all materials, my garage is the same size & same window, but I also have a internal window from the lounge room, how could I make that into a door as I only have the garage doors either side to access the garage.. great work by the way, me and my sons could easily do this together..

@Trenbow 3 года назад

Since you converted a garage into a room, how do you install an a/c vent to cool down the room?

@waynepayne9875 3 года назад

Youd have to knock out a portion of the wall and install a split system, very pricey. That's why builders really push cooling when you build a house as it's really costly to do later.

@krystalthomas7247 4 года назад

I actually need to do this. we just bought our house and the the garage is a room....however we want to take the garage door down. So i like the idea of building this wall. What do you recommend on the outside? Should we just leave it? Or maybe you can do a video on taking out the garage door and replacing it with siding!

@billshowto 4 года назад

Leaving the garage door is a personal preference as many people choose to leave it for the purpose of resale. If you ever wanted to turn the room back into a garage it’s much easier and quicker to do 👍

@krystalthomas7247 4 года назад

Billshowto we want to remove it. It’s a small space, and we just bought this house. We just want it to look like it’s part of the house and not like it “used to be a garage” . Thank you for this video!

@joshpeters258 3 года назад

@anthonyharper5954 4 года назад

All that effort to insulate has gone to waste because of the thermal bridge between the brick turrets and the plaster board 🤦🏻‍♂️ Should’ve built an independent stud wall 10mm off of the brick work and insulated that. Would’ve shrunk your room a little but would’ve been a more sound option.

@billshowto 4 года назад

Unfortunately this was the only way to maximize space in this room. The insulation was installed for temperature control as well as acoustic. considering the plasterboard is being installed directly on the brick wall , the insulation was installed to provide as much insulation as possible with this method used 👍

@mountainconstructions 4 года назад

The ol Thermal Bridge hey......

@dereknyc4402 4 года назад

Anthony Harper - I was just about say that. Brick is a horrible insulator. He could have extended the stud wall and put a rigid foam board creating a vapor/draft barrier. Guess they do it differently "down under".

@calderjonhughes 4 года назад

@@dereknyc4402 Superquilt would have been perfect and hardly eat up any additional space.

@Ironbuket 4 года назад

Some people dont consider that water can travel through brick. Brick is not waterproof it actually soaks up water like a sponge. So, attaching plaster board directly to it as others already mentioned is not a good idea. If you find you have done this already, go paint the outside of the brick with waterproofing or render the outside.

@melvingray3245 2 года назад

What about ventilation and A/C?

@CommentsAllowed 4 года назад

@Radio4ManLeics 4 года назад

Tiling: no floor insulation or dpm, and most garage floors slope towards the door for drainage. Did you just tile the floor "as is"?

@Ironbuket 4 года назад

I noticed that too. I was waiting for a raised floor to go in at the end, but he just left it with a step up to get to the house. Bit of a bodge

@ImShiftehh 4 года назад

thats how it is in Australia, why would you need to insulate the floor? its on a slab the rest of the house is on the exact same slab with nothing under the tiles, just straight onto the slab

@Ironbuket 4 года назад

@@ImShiftehh I guess you forgot about capillary action? It may not get cold in Australia, but I bet you must have some rain there at some point.

@ImShiftehh 4 года назад

Ironbuket I’m not going to bother arguing with you because everything they did in this video is literally how every single new house is built. Yes I understand in America I’ve seen in some videos they put dimple mats ect under tiles/flooring but all I can speak on is how it’s done here. Slab / mud / tiles that’s it nothing else

@ImShiftehh 4 года назад

Ironbuket and I don’t get OP is saying about drainage. Yes the floor slopes towards the door. From back to front. So why would you have to do anything about drainage ? It’s not as if the back is lower then the front. So unless you on the bottom of a hill there’s no chance any water is getting close

@sang3Eta 4 года назад

A single brick skin conversion wouldn't pass code in the UK as a habitable room. You will have moisture and mold problems after some rain. You'd also have problems selling your property without the building regs sign off.
