Following the advice of a couple of weeks ago, the garage ceiling has
been plasterboarded, a integrated loft hatch/ladder[1] installed for
access to the roof space, lighting done and I'm now sealing the
concrete
floor.

I'm planning on battening the wall, insulating and
plasterboarding - how
low to the floor should the battens go if I was leaving the
floor sealed
and not adding anything else like tiles etc?

just dot and dab (plus two fixings at head height) insulated
plasterboards - in one swoop - dead straight forward.

It's a single skin wall, won't any damp cause problems with the
adhesive?

mmm not sure :)

tho the fixings alone will hold it - put more fixings in say 6 per 8X4
and forget the adhesive then?

(same as your battening really without the wood and the multiple
stages, measuring, cutting faffing etc)

Well it would save the faff with the wood, so it is appealing. Could be
the way to go.

I forgot that there's also the relatively new "low expansion
polyurethane" method of gluing em up... so limiting damp penetration
along multiple fixings (before anyone pops up with that aspect on
single skin wall ;)

Just paint the floor with 2 pack red gloss?

Jim K

Painting the floor is not an option. Done it before,

yebbut what with?

not a great fan of
it.

yebbut why?

Ideally I'd like:
