NEW BUILD MASONRY CAVITY HOUSING

Introduction The dwelling contained within this tour is a 2-storey, 4-bedroom detached property. It forms part of a private housing development, comprising a mixture of 2-storey 4-bedroom detached properties and 2-bedroom apartments. The dwelling has been constructed using masonry cavity external walls, which are fully filled with mineral fibre and are dry-lined with plasterboard on dabs. The ground floor is a concrete raft construction with the insulation placed below the slab, whilst the upper floors use built-in timber I-beams. Metal studwork has been used for the first floor partition walls and the roof is of a traditional tiled pitched design with insulation placed at the ceiling level.
