Extensions including garage conversions will usually require extra damp proofing to be added during the conversion, as the existing garage will typically have a single skin design for walls and floors, which was not built to comply with building regulations for habitable rooms. This damp proofing should be added to walls and floors. Moreover, the roof of the garage conversion will need water proofing. The damp proofing of the floor of the garage conversion will most likely be performed by by using a damp proof membrane. This membrane can come in either solid or liquid form. The damp proof membrane will be placed down either on top of the pre-existing concrete floor, underneath the new floor, or as part of both, depending on if the floor will be a solid or a floating floor. In some garages, the walls have already been damp proofed, but this may need to be improved as part of the conversion in order to comply with current building regulations. The walls will need to be damp proofed in order to protect the brickwork from rotting gradually as moisture sets in. This can be carried out by either using damp proof membranes, waterproof rendering, or cavity insulation, depending on the type of walls that are already present in the garage. Damp proofing is an integral part of the building regulations that the garage conversion will need to comply with, therefore is it necessary to ensure that your garage conversion employs appropriate damp proofing methods.

Lochearnhead is a town on the A84 Stirling to Crianlarich road at the foot of Glen Ogle, 14 miles (23 kilometres) north of the Highland Boundary Fault. It is situated at the western end of Loch Earn where the A85 road from Crieff meets the A84. Loch Earn is 317 feet over sea level, with the settlement ranging from its support to greater ground on the hills at the mouth of Glen Ogle. Lochearnhead lies within the Breadalbane location of the Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Forest. The village has actually preserved its vacationer condition as well as has actually come to be a centre of water sports consisting of water snowboarding, kayaking, canoeing, dinghy sailing as well as scuba diving. Loch Earn is specifically known for its water skiing as well as championships are held there. The old Lochearnhead Hotel, which was situated opposite the village green at the joint of the A84 as well as A85, was refuted in the early hrs of November 5, 1982. The Cameron family after that got and also renamed the Craigroystan hotel, which overlooks the loch. This new Lochearnhead Hotel has actually since changed ownership.
