I registered here today because I am currently in the middle of the construction phase and am considering how to clad the front of my garage and the main entrance.
I have a precast concrete basement with an attached double garage. The entrance and the garage canopy form an inverted U shape. I want to clad this with HPL panels. Now it’s about how to implement this.
Inside the U shape, I don’t see a problem. We have a 10mm (0.4 inch) XPS insulation with bitumen at the base area, then horizontally placed 12mm (0.5 inch) battens spaced roughly 60cm (24 inches) apart. The garage, windows, and door are all framed with this battens structure. Insulation will be placed in between, and my carpenter suggested installing a 16mm (0.6 inch) black OSB board over everything. Then counter battens for ventilation, and finally the HPL panels...
Does the OSB make sense here? Or would a membrane like a fleece or similar be sufficient?
My problem is the corner between the entrance and the exterior wall.
Should I have the render/plaster applied up to the corner, then place the wood batten at the edge and fix the HPL directly on it without ventilation, letting the HPL overlap the render? For mounting, would it then be necessary to drill through the render and insulation and possibly use spacers?
Or should I also install battens on this exterior wall—thinner ones in this case—then the OSB board, counter battens, and finally the HPL?
In that case, the insulation might only be 8mm (0.3 inch) thick instead of 10mm (0.4 inch), and I would use Rockwool instead of XPS.
I’m grateful for any ideas and tips.
Best regards,
