[edit] Extending an existing property.

There a number of issues here that we hope people can help us with. Joining same materials onto each other is relatively easy, however, you might be looking to extend a solid walled house with a light weight timber frame. The junctions between the two and the difference in thermal properties etc may all be a cause of problems, so we hope to slowly generate a series of specifications and advice that will help to alleviate any of these issues.

To start with we need to know what type of building are you working on?

Solid Wall

Cavity Wall

Alternative

Timber Frame
