Here are the pics of the garage i lined with old floorboards this winter. I put 100mm of rockwool behind to insulate. We used recycled materials and the cheapest untreated timber we could find. It was 11 euro per sqm. The garage now has a retro wooden cabin look inside. Im going to post more pics when i finish the last wall.
The batons going on the wall, these all needed spacers at various points because the wall was very uneven.
Insulation in 1m by 60cm pieces placed between the batons and cut where needed. A tight fit is better than a loose fit. I used rockwool slabs which are very rigid yet flexible. any gaps were stuffed with rock wool offcuts. A stanley knife cuts rockwool very well and i allow 20mm over to make sure it wedges in tight.
I used a spare piece of board and a piece of oak to persuade the curved boards to stay straight while i screwed them in !.The oak is screwed into the baton and hammered down onto the spare piece of board to wedge it in tight.. Long and slow at times !
Here are the boards just starting on wall one ( left side )
Note the cut around for the garage door bracket.
Here are the boards ( recycled floorboards ) Up on wall two ( right side )
This is the same wall as the pic above. Now for the wall with the window in it.
I am currently about to do a big update with more pics when the camera
is fixed ! So you can see the finished result of this project including
the hangers i made for the tools ! I love the old retro look of this
building design and it was pleasure to work with my clients and Their
Ideas for the look of the finished building.
