Hi guys,
I have insulated my single skin garage by putting up a stud wall in between the pillars of the garage.
I have been advised that I need to add ventilation to prevent the build up of humidity inside the garage. The garage will be kept at an ambient temperature.
There are 4 airbricks in the garage through the single skin wall.
My plan is to add passive vents on the stud directly in front of the lower airbricks and then add extraction fans at the other side of the garage to create Airflow.
For the passive intake vents I was going to simply ensure that I left a rectangular gap in the stud, use foil tape to prevent any moisture getting into the stud round the edges, then fix a louvre or adjustable vent. We live in a very high humidity area and I worried just banging a vent in will introduce issues.
Is that the right approach for this? Should I use another type of vent? Should the vent be inline with the airbricks or staggered?
I am new to this so apologies if I am asking anything daft.
