ECONOMICAL WAY TO INSULATE LOG CABIN ( DIY)
Anonymous user 09/03/2024 - 3.32 PM
Hello All, I am looking for advice on insulation, that I have a log cabin and would like to insulate it so I can use it as a small office however it is 4mtr X 4mtr. the log cabin is a normal log cabin with single wall wood panels locked into each other. I wish I could add pictures. however, there are no studs, if I use 2x2s for studs and then wondering what thickness insulation I should use. I am looking to achieve as economically as possible. please advise me

What is the interior build of the log cabin?

Log cabin with internal stud walls? Rockwool or celotax (foil backed insulation) should do the trick if so.

Celotex + plasterboard + skim (or tape and joint)
Or
PIR insulated plasterboard + skim (or tape and joint)
Use Megastik or Instastik adhesive foam, so no need to batten etc..
The cost will depend on the thickness of the boards
Have a look at Selco (or other similar stores)
Hope this helps
