Thank you for you're response. I assumed stud walls to allow a frame to fit the PIR. Looking now I could fix the PIR straight to the timber. What's the best fixing method. Screws, adhesive? I've not looked to much into heating yet. One possibility would be an Aircon unit for hot and cold.

I have a log cabin/garden room I'm looking to insulate and make more use off. My preference would be to insulate from the outside to save losing space inside. I was planning to build stud walls and insulate with 75mm or 100mm PIR, membrane,baton and tongue and grove cladding all the way around...

Okay that makes sense. Would all parts of the floor need to be slight shy of the wall or just the PIR and OSB and then take the vinyl/laminate to the wall?

I've trying to get some info on floating floors and a lot of the reference material is about laying laminate. I was wondering if someone can clarify what is actually meant. I understand that if I put timbers across at 450mm intervals this is where I am likely to get thermal bridging as this is...

Okay I wasn't aware of that I'll look into floating floors. Thank you. The door frame is raised already so I'm hoping to get away with 50mm PIR and the OSB and still be below.

Hi all, I'm looking for some advice regarding converting an existing garden room. My house has an timber garden room which has mainly been used for storage since we moved in. Now I'm looking to make it more of a room and something that can be used all year round. My first job is to insulate...
