Hi,
I have had a little snoop around the web but haven't found what I am after.
I have a 8x12 shed on order which has a T+G floor.
I have made a timber frame for it to sit on out of 3x2 which is sitting on concrete piers and over the old small concrete slab.
The shed will be mostly to store tools and be used as a little workshop, so I would like to future proof it buy insulating the floor when I install it. Then likely insulate and heat the inside in the future. I don't really want to take away headroom with a floating floor inside. The way I see it I have the following options / problems:
Flip the T+G floor over and insulate between the joists (will likely be thin) or pin bubble wrap etc over the joists. Both would leave the ends open? would these need to be closed to create a sealed air gap?
Put insulation between the timber frame joists sitting it on batons. Again when the pre fab floor sits on top it will leave a gap and the edges are exposed surely this would reduce its effectiveness. Also do you need to board out / membrane the underside of the joists to stop, bugs / animals using the insulation? The videos I have seen seemed to leave polystyrene underneath open and board on top for the floor?
any help advice would be appreciated.
