COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION OF YOUR GARAGE
For car enthusiasts and car enthusiasts, protecting their own vehicles is very important. Building a small garage may seem like a strange part of the house to spend money on while building a garage.
Garage construction also needs to meet some of the following standards:
  • Thermal protection for energy efficiency
  • Fire prevention, especially when the garage is attached to the house
  • Add usable living space or hobbies
  • A garage is often a messy storage space
  • Controls humidity to protect media
  • Direct investment finishing spaces almost always improve the resale value of a home
Begin:
In general, the approach to tackling a garage renovation is similar to other home renovations. As with any other home improvement project, it makes sense to start with a plan.

Step 1: Make a plan
It is one of the golden rules that time spent planning a home improvement project is a good investment. There are some questions to consider that will help guide you along the way, keeping you focused, productive, and ensuring nothing gets overlooked.
  • First, how do you want to use the space? Are you adding living space or storage, or both?
  • What is currently in the garage? This is more about construction materials, stud spacing, etc. than the content of the space. Are the walls bare concrete, drywall, or have exposed studs?
  • With the intended purpose of the finished space in mind, what materials do you need for the project? Consider all surfaces, including walls, ceilings and floors, and what is needed to finish them.
  • Do you need to make any electrical additions or improvements? Thinking about lighting and energy sources will improve the usability of the finished space.
  • What about plumbing? If it will be a workspace or hobby, do you need to install a utility sink? If it's for extra living or entertaining space, perhaps you want to include a wet bar?
  • What are your local code requirements? We know it's tempting to skip this step, but the time and effort is worth it in the long run. Here's what you should investigate:
  • Are fire doors required?
  • Do interior and exterior walls need to be insulated?
  • What is the fire rating required to separate the walls?
Step 2: Start with insulation.
  • The first thing we need is a garage that has been built (may not need plastering).
  • Create a frame with blocking brackets to fix the fireproof cotton
  • Cut rock wool insulation panels to the same size as the bases, and place them in the gaps.
  • After completing the above step, let's install the blocking bar. Use a level to check whether the level is correct and flat. If not, adjust it again until it's fine, then continue testing until it's completed.
  • Cover it with drywall for a more aesthetically pleasing look.
► Products required:
  • Bricks, sand, cement,...
  • Perforated corrugated iron (to make fireproof cotton fixed barriers)
  • Fireproof cotton (fire-resistant, heat-resistant and insulating)
  • Insulated fiberglass plasterboard ceiling
Step 3: Follow a vapor barrier.
  • This step is often misunderstood, and therefore overlooked, by homeowners during construction. The main function of a vapor barrier is to control humidity. In the garage, like other spaces in the house, condensation results from moisture in the air. Excessive levels of condensation and humidity in your garage can damage your garage's foundation and cause tools, vehicles, and cabinets to rust faster. This can happen in both hot and cold climates. Low winter temperatures, followed by the increased humidity of spring and early summer, leave your garage and home susceptible to excessive moisture. Homes in areas with high humidity and occasional temperature drops will also experience condensation in the garage.
Having large, airy windows is also an effective tip to help us avoid mold in our garage. Not only does it reduce construction costs but it is also highly effective.
Step 4: Finish the walls and ceiling:
You should choose a slightly dark color and avoid painting it in a light color to avoid getting dirty from oil and stains on your hands, making your garage worse.
Currently, there are many types of stain-resistant non-stick paint for you to choose from.
Step 5: Last but not least... Floors
Remember that the space you are finishing is a garage; If you are still planning to use it for vehicle storage, do you need to consider drainage? Regardless, choose a durable material that is impervious to oil or other liquid leaks and is easy to clean. As well as DIY storage solutions, today there are so many incredible flooring options for garages that are both functional and stylish. Depending on your choices, you may want to hire a professional for installation or application. Whatever your choice, complete it all with durable trim or baseboards.
