Ah makes sense, thanks Stuart

Ok thanks for the warnings!...I might be missing something here - what I was leaning towards is: Ply on top of studs > Foil backed rigid insulation between studs and foil taped at joints > Battens on studs > Cladding I understand that the foil backed insulation doubles up as moisture barrier...

I've come up with a plan that kills 2 birds with one stone - ply sheathing on the INSIDE. That way I get the structural strength and don't need to mess around with plasterboard. It'll give it a more rustic look, which is a bonus for a man-cave/gym :) Surprised this isn't a standard thing...

Thanks guys, that's what I needed to hear! I'll go with the sheathing. Anything wrong with 9mm vs the 12mm? Any difference with OSB vs ply? Personally prefer ply as it holds up better with moister. I was thinking of using fibreglass in the walls to maybe help deaden sound a bit more (and...

I'll be going for plasterboard, and the door will be a standard UPVC one, or French door. I guess the joints could be an issue with the plasterboard (?) if no sheathing is used on outside, but moreso at the corners which I'd use caulking on anyway.

Hi guys, I'll be building an insulated 3.6m x 4.8m garden room/gym for my brother and was just wondering why it's recommended to sheath the outside before the cladding? I understand this is for strength (to prevent twisting) but surely the cladding itself will provide this? Obviously I'd...

Yeah I may try (screwfix), although not sure if they'd take something back that's not faulty and was down to my stupidity :oops: You're right, I'm gonna go for the 2 in 1. Anyway, thanks again!

Damn, it's the RTS1 lol Looks like it's going on ebay :roll: So the programmer is a Centaurplus C27 (horstmann), and is 3 wire also - would I need a different one too? Please say no haha Wiring below: Just ignore the cylinder thermostat (I have a combi) Thanks!

Thanks for your reply Ah, I thought it was mechanical just because it didn't have a digital display. I already have the thermostat, and a 3 wire programmer too (doh!)...are you saying that both are out of the question? I don't mind extra wires etc

Hi guys, short question here - just wondering if I need to buy a 2 wire thermostat instead of the 3 wire one I bought in haste (haha)? The boiler terminals are volt free (just one wire loop to break/make), but the 3 wire mechanical thermostat I have requires mains... Is it possible to wire...

Hi guys, first post. My central heating system is vented and very simple (pretty old setup, probably 20 years old) - no 3 way valves (multi-fuel boiler heats DHW through a gravity pipe leading up to coil in tank), and the CH is pumped from the boiler too (4 connectors on the multi-fuel...
