my workshop is in an old (1930s-50s) wooden garage. The floor is concrete, the walls are thin wood and the roof is more modern - osb with felt over it.
not surprisingly, it is cold at this time of year, and even with a heater running (not cheap) the temperature is only raised by 10-12 degrees.
I have been thinking about easy options for insulation… but I don‘t have any expertise in this area… so was wondering what views there might be…
I was thinking that it would be simple to buy some celotex / kinspan (the foil backed insulation sheets), put them up against the roof and then overboard with ply or similar?
ideally I would like to raise the temperature / heat retention as much as possible…
would it still make a noticeable difference if I initially only insulated the roof?
