Workshop Insulation
#17
Thank you for all of the advice and information about the ways in which you have all tackled this problem. On reading your suggestions, I am more or less settled on using rolls of fibreglass insulation (on a very reasonable offer from Travis Perkins at present) and a covering of whatever ply, OSB or MDF sheeting I can find at a good price. I shall do this on the walls, doors and roof.

I shall fit a small extractor fan up high that will ensure a trickle of fresh air.

The roof is quite nicely designed. It has a gap of about 2" under the eaves which allows a good flow of air which seems to be helping to dry it out.

The floor is 1" thick timber on battens, so I plan to cover it with hardboard and use workshop matting on top. This is the wettest bit now.

Regards,

JAmie.
