Insulating a shed.......

[extrastrongmint]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone can help me make a decision?

My three guinea pigs are going into the shed for the rest of summer and all of autumn, they will be indoors again during Dec, Jan, Feb and probably March too. Technically Guinea pigs aren't outdoor pets, they don't cope as well with temperature changes which is why I am trying to make the shed have a stable temperature.

I want to insulate the shed for them. I have read loads of articles and even ventured on to youtube to watch videos.....I have overloaded my brain and now don't know what to do for the best.

The shed is 6 foot by 8 foot. It was cheap to start with. Still appears leak proof so far. It has just been used to store "stuff". Roof covered in something and inside the celling is osb board.

The outside needs painting with that weatherproof stuff. I know that much and after that it all gets a bit hazy!

My options are

the silver stuff
-Thermal-Insulation-Foil-Roll-600mmx8m
the board
Celotex-50mm-High-Performance-Insulation-Board-1200x2400mm

the furry stuff

Knauf-100mm-Space-Combi-Loft-Insulation-Roll

or bubble wrap or polystyrene

I am on budget but equally need it to be safe and workable.

So what should I choose?

Also what should insulate the floor with?
or the roof?

thank you for any help.
