Hi folks
I am a complete novice when it comes to building joinery etc so if these questions seem a bit stupid to you then sorry its all new to me
I have a prefab concrete garage approx 20ft x 10ft. I have now got consumer unit fitted so I now have a proper power supply (did not like the extension cable the guy before me had running under the slabs into the garage!!!)
What I now want to do is insulate the garage using something like Kingspan or an equivalent but what I would like to know is can I put the insulation straight onto the concrete walls or do I need to build a wooden frame, and leave a gap between the insulation and the concrete? will I need to put vents in for the air to circulate? would it be better to get foil wrapped insulation(on one side)?
Also I would like to plaster board the whole garage can I buy insulation already with this on or would it be better to buy it separate? I also plan on insulating the roof space I already have a load of Rockwool for this then plaster board it as well as I know most of the heat will go through the roof
My long term plan is to have the garage tiled so the walls fixing etc have to be secure
sorry if this is in the wrong section if the mods could move it
