Hi,
I'm refurbishing a single skin brick shed for use as a hobby room / pottery. As the winter approaches I'd like to insulate the roof a bit. At the moment it's tile hung with no felt or lining paper - see pictures. I know the ideal would be to take off the entire roof and replace but I'd like to avoid that if possible!
My current thoughts are to wedge strips of Kingspan / Celotex between the rafters and cover the whole lot with hardboard or 9mm plasterboard. I'm a bit concerned about the plasterboard as that will be quite heavy. Any view or comments on this? Very grateful for alternative suggestions or approaches?
Assuming this is a good way to go, I assume I need to leave a vapour gap between the top of the Celotex and the underside of the tiles. Do I also need to leave a gap at the apex and the eaves or can I fill in right up to the ridge and head plates?
All advice welcome...
Thanks
Chris
