Hi All,
I'm about to start construction of a large wooden shed, 8m x 4m, and need some advice on where and what types of membrane to use please ?
The shed is effectively a studwork arrangement from CLS timber and it will be clad with shiplap, and in time I will fit Celotex type insulation into the stud spaces and then line the inner face with ply.
I intend to fit a breathable membrane between the inner face of the shiplap and the outer face of the CLS studs - is this a good idea or just a waste of money ?
Do I need to leave a space between the shiplap/membrane and the insulation board ?
Or should I leave a space between the insulation board and the inner ply lining ?
Finally should I fit a vapour barrier i.e. impermeable membrane, between the studs and the ply lining ?
I'm looking to build the shed to a good long term standard so it's reasonably warm to work in so all advice welcome.
Many Thanks
Steve
