With the timber frame structure fully erected and all flats enclosed the internal works can now commence. Below we have a ground floor flat where the party walls and ceilings have been insulated, with a vapour barrier then fixed over the insulated party wall.
The party walls to the upper floor flats are insulated, with a vapour barrier then fixed over them, the loft insulation will be fixed once the ceiling is boarded.
First fix boarding is now underway, with the perimeter walls and ground floor ceilings receiving two layers of plasterboard.
Only a single layer of 40mm insulated plasterboard is fixed to the ceiling of the first floor flats, with a section left out in order for the loft insulation to be installed.
All plasterboard joints are fire taped and sealed with service battens, then fixed into position.
When the perimeter and ceiling boarding works are complete, the internal metal frame stud partitions can then be erected.
