I've got a third of an inherited garage as an office...Finally removed everything on the other side. The other side of this picture is my little office and this is taken from the "cold" side (front) of the garage. As you can see I've exposed the stud frame from the garage side, and was about to add insulation, however after a bit of research it seems a vapour control layer is needed 'on the room side' of the stud/plasterboard.
Again, as you can see, there's already a wall up, and I'm using it the other side currently. To do a VCL properly I'd need to take the room side partition wall down, VCL it, insulate and plaster board each side. I'd really rather minimise the amount of work, as well as disruption to my office.
My question is, are there any solutions that don't require me using a VCL separately, or are there any other suggestions? The last thing I want is to put some insulation in and then to have mould which will cause damage to the walls and/or ill health side effects etc etc. I could take it all down, but if there was a slightly more expensive way, but it saved me some effort, I'd opt for that (to frame the answers is all).
Thoughts?
