Hey Folks, Needing some advise on the construction of our planned integrated double garage which has one wall attached to the utility room. It was originally planned to have what I believe is called a 'double skin' construction, from what I can gather this is basically external brick with a cavity gap and another brick wall internally. However I have been informed there is another option to have either a single skin construction (one layer of brick?) or a single skin with a studded internal wall. The latter seems to provide better insulation etc and also the added benefit of a cavity for cables etc - is it more common practise to have a studded internal wall for an integrated garage or is a double skin construction still used? Any examples from your own builds would be greatly appreciated! Cost comparison would be great also! Thanks.?
