I want to insulate my log cabin as economically as possible and would like to keep it warm as much as possible for 6 to 8 hours between 15 to 20 degrees.
My log cabin is 4mX4m and the tallest point is 260cm ( 2.6m). So I guess the side walls are 2.4m. it doesn't have studs except on the roof. With all your help and guidance, I want to know what sort of material I will need and in how much quantity. As mentioned I would like to achieve as economically possible as like everyone I have a limited budget. I originally started looking for insulation on Facebook, freecycle, etc but it would cost me a lot in additional materials.
From the forum someone suggested below :
plasterboard
vapor barrier
insulation
breathable membrane
how ever my log cabin is single-wall wood logs locked onto each other. I guess everyone knows what log cabins are.
I would like to use the minimum number of items. like if I could use Insulated plasterboards then do I need a breathable membrane? how many insulated plasterboards should I use and which one? what else do I need?
So, if the forum can help me I would be grateful to you and your experience.
