Garage conversions will often need extra insulation as the garage space will be converted into a habitable room, and therefore needs to adhere to building regulations for insulation in this kind of room. These regulations specify a U-value for insulation, which assesses the rate of heat loss. These are set differently for walls, floors, and roofing. To adhere to building regulations the garage conversion must meet the U-values in all three of the areas, but supplementary insulation can be installed to exceed these values and improve energy efficiency. Wall insulation for garage conversions is normally done by employing internal wall insulation, which adds insulated plasterboard to the existing walls. This will add thermal insulation and stop heat from dissipating through the walls. Insulation must be added around windows and doors as these areas can leak heat particularly poorly. Roofs for garage conversions will also require insulation. Pitched roofs need insulation to the same standard as the rest of your house. Flat roofs also require insulation. This is achieved by using a cold roof system, where insulation is fixed between the roof joists along with ventilation to avoid condensation forming. The other possibility is a warm roof, where insulation is installed above the roof joists. Floor insulation is also required in garage conversions. This is less difficult if the floor level of the garage requires raising in order to meet the rest of the house as an extra layer of insulation can be easily put into either a elevated concrete floor, timber joists or a floating floor. If the floor doesn’t need to be lifted it might be necessary to dig out the floor to add the necessary insulation.

Limavady is a market town in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland, with Binevenagh as a backdrop. The town is within Causeway Coast and Glens district. Set around 17 miles (27 km) east of Derry and 14 miles (23 km) southwest of Coleraine, Limavady has a permanent population of around 12043 people, according to the 2001 Census. This is an increase of at minimum 17 per cent since 1991. The ongoing development of the town is further seen by the fact that in the 30 years between 1971 and 2011, Limavady’s population approximately doubled. The continual development of Limavady over the previous fifty years is mostly the result of considerable modern industrial development and public perception of the town as an eye-catching and residential area. Limavady, a lucrative service hub for the Roe Valley, has actually seen competition from other retail centres, such as Derry, Coleraine and, to a lesser extent, Ballymena. A striking characteristic of the town’s growth has been the predominant southward and eastward growth of its suburbs, with the River Roe flood plain continuing to contain the town to the west and north. In between 1988 and 2004, 1332 homes were built in the town, generally at Bovally along the south eastern edge. The town is also home to a large commercial estate at Aghanloo, whic is 2 miles (3 km) north of the town centre. Being most renowned for the tune ‘Londonderry Air’, the town holds a variety of global celebrations relevant to music and the arts, such as the Danny Boy Festival, the Limavady Jazz and Blues Festival, the Roe Valley Folk Celebration the Stendhal Festival of Art, and the Bishop Hervey International Summer School.
