How I Block up a Garage Door - Workshop Upgrade Part 3
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 11. 2016
- In this video I'm blocking up the garage door as part of my workshop upgrade to v2.0. I don't use the garage door on the workshop side - it lets in a huge draught, has zero insulating properties and I can't attach stuff to it. So I'm blocking it up using a stud framework and 18mm MDF sheeting. Enjoy and don't forget to Subscribe!

Hi Andy, Any reason you chose Knauf brand? Was it acoustic insulation? And how thick? Many thanks
What are the dimensions of the timber and the insulation? also is it cavity or loft insulation?
Do you think this same method would work for my 3 fully insullatwd car garage. I have a pool table, TV, darts, gym in there and the 2 car garage door we don't use it at all so I will like to put a temporary wall so it will be more cozy and use the wall to hung up stuff too?
Came to see how I could do this, enjoyed some Radiohead too. Even the sped up version of creep at the start 😂
Did you leave any gaps in the mdf for expansion? Can't see it realllly being a problem in UK lol? Maybe for four days a year when it's redders. I went OSB as I got it dirt cheap but I keep seeing "oh you must leave a gap!"
Thank you for the video. I am planning to do the same in my attached single garage.
I am just slightly worried about damp settling into the garage, as I plan to totally seal the stud wall with sealant on the sides. This would block any ventilation, hence help damp to form. But it would help keep the garage warm I am hoping.
Any advice in regards to the damp at all please? I am really confused in this regard, but would really like to go ahead with this project in order to make my garage look more like a room, and become much warmer hopefully.
Kind Regards
Umair
I sealed the bottom edges of the base plate and painted it to protect the wood - on the door side. It's then just sealed on the inside. As there's plenty ventilation around the garage door itself any dampness in the cavity should dry out fine. Never been an issue for me. 👍
@@GosforthHandyman Thank you very much for your help. Honestly! I've been very confused about this matter.
@@GosforthHandyman thank you for this response!
what has the improvement been like? Still Baltic or more Italian?
Defo more Italian... and massive improvements on sound insulation too. 👍
Noticed you listening to Radiohead.
I need to do this to my garage soon.
Firstly thanks for this great video. I would like to ask you how you made sure that no water would leak through the garage door into the isolation and the walls you put up. We are thinking about doing the same to our garage door as a temporary solution.
The bottom plate of the stud is painted and sealed with all weather sealant - I haven't sealed the door from the outside as I'd rather air could circulate so that if any dampness does get in it can dry out naturally. All fine and removable in about 1-2 hrs. 👍😀
is this legal? ive heard towns wont let you do this to create more legal square footage to replace the garage
It doesn’t count toward the livable square footage of the property. It is allowed here, in Washington state. No permit needed unless adjusting the current HVAC to the garage. Then everything must be updated to code and can get very $$$$$
Is there any reason you used MDF over OSB? Just curious.
More dense (so better sound / heat insulation), easier to paint and about the same price. 👍
Gosforth Handyman Ah, makes sense. Thanks for the reply.
Can you remove the horizontal rails without messing with the tension bar?
If this video is suppose to teach the viewer it’s too fast. Not very informative.
That's OK Anne - it's not supposed to teach the viewer. 👍
Got a navy blue fleece in large if you want it
