An interesting post about the need to insulate log cabins.... when the sales brochures talk about the warmth of such structures.
Our workshop walls are 15mm pine T&G Shiplap on 75mm x 47mm framing. All of the walls and the roof panels are insulated with 50mm Celotex (at a jaw dropping price) with internal cladding of 15mm T&G. The floor is 19mm T&G with at least 6" between floor and foundation. Last week / this week we have been pleasantly warm with two 1KW oil filled thermostatic radiators which are switched on about 30 minutes before and whilst we are using the workshop.
The two doors have yet to be insulated and need draught excluders around the jams so I am expecting the cost of heating to go down when we have finished the insulation work.
regards, Graham
