Question

Does it matter if a garage is built with a single or double skin of bricks?

If it’s just somewhere to park the car then it doesn’t matter. Might need some piers in it to support single skin, roof and doors

– Garages are usually constructed with single-skin walls, but if you intend to spend a lot of time in the garage or if a garage conversion is a possibility in the future, it may be worth paying more for a double skin wall that is structurally stronger, and you can insulate it via the cavity.

Wayne · Answer

No single skin is fine mainly.double skin to keep warmth in but as it's a garage that's fine

David · Answer

This all depends in what you wish to use this for in the future and what your personal budget is single skin will do for just a garage for a vehicle

Peter · Answer

it matters if you think about the future
because the double wall gives you more resistance
in addition, you have heat in the winter and coolness in the summer

Hi you would want a cavity with a inner leaf of block work with damp course and insulation to stop damp soaking through the outer leaf of brick work
Many thanks

Kieran · Answer

It shouldn’t  really matter if its a single skin depending on what you use as your roof if it’s a rubber or grp roof it will be fine because you can fix your wall plate round to anker the roof down and support your walls if your wanting too tile it then you would need to put pliers in too support the weight of the roof
