Hi all.
I'm building a pub shed and currently in the design stage, readying myself to order the materials. The design of the walls from the outside to in is thus - 25mm shiplap, batons, breathable membrane, 18mm osb, insulation, studwork, internal cladding. The size of the shed is 4.5m x 3m, with a 2m x 2.1m sliding patio door.
The pub shed would not be used every night of the year, it's mainly a weekend thing in the evenings. In the summer it will not be heated, only in the winter, but like I said only at weekends in the evening for 2 or 3 hours. Given the small amount of time it will be heated in the winter would i need to install an internal vapour barrier to go with the external membrane? To me it would seem like overkill, a bit unnecessary, however any professional would be welcome
