Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has any knowledge or experience on the best/cheapest way to insulate a portakabin building which I use as my office. It's 30ft x 8ft and is ridiculously cold in there. It's a fairly old cabin, and has single glazed windows and as far as I know there is no insulation of the walls.
At the moment I have 2x 2kw heaters come on at 7am and stay on until 5:00. These alone don't heat the cabin as much as is required, so we also use a 2kw convector heater. The total is within safe loading but my elec bill is rocketing.
I know there are various options available for a residential house such insulating sheets, foam, window film etc, but I'm unsure if any of these are suitable/effective for a portakabin. Or if there's a better I hadn't considered.
Any info any can offer would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
David
