What is the best way to insulate my 8x8 summerhouse?
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 2.30 PM
I've been searching online for the best advice on how to insulate my 8x8 summerhouse, and it all seams to be conflicting. So far I've decided its best to friction fit celotex boards between the batons on the walls and and ceiling (leaving a gap), and lay them directly on the floor then, then board over the whole lot with 12mm ply. My questions are: does a plastic vapour barrier need to be installed anywhere and if so where? Do i need to leave a gap between the celotex and the walls/ceiling? Is it okay to lay celotex directly on the floor and then board on top of that? It is likely I am only going to use the summerhouse for doing a bit of work at my desk and playing the drums in. Any help greatly appreciated!! Daniel
