And if so how?
I will be getting a brand new shed delivered in a couple of weeks time. It's only a small shed 4' x 4' in size but it's a good quality shed - no OSB or chipboard.
I'm going to insulate the walls inside at leisure but I also want to insulate the floor. I'm thinking about insulating the underneath of the shed floor rather than having a floating floor.
I was thinking about sealing any cracks with silicone sealant, followed by a layer of black plastic sheeting, fit some Knauf rock mineral wool sheets (they're cheap), if necessary any joints in the sheets sealed with aluminium duct tape, another layer of black plastic sheeting, capped off with a covering of plywood to seal it all.
Once the floor goes down on to some breezeblocks and the shed has been erected, the shed will never ever be taken apart again - so this is a one shot deal.
Is what I plan for the shed floor overkill or could it be done any simpler? I want to make it completely watertight so that not one drop of moisture could get in through the floor. I want this shed to last for a very long time indeed so what would any of you guys recommend - I am open to your thoughts.
