Has anyone tried to thermally insulate a shed? What did you use and how effective was it?

[Stan]

Have look at Kingspan insulation it comes in different thickness.

Or Celotex - same thing - it's a solid foam board 25mm to 100mm thick - cut it with a bread knife or hand saw.   Effectiveness depends a lot on the shed construction quality.

Kingspan .... Expensive....

Check out Gumtree and Fb  market place..... you pick up bulk lots of reasonably sized off cuts .. much cheaper.

I’ve used building damp proofing stapled to the walls and roof and polystyrene foam 100mm cut using hack saw blade.


To me seems to be very effective.

Cellotex is good even in two inch boards, and there is that foily bubble wrap which is good as is the packing that some fresh food (Hello Fresh types) delivery services use! A friend is using this wrapping in the ceiling of his man cave on top of the foily bubble wrap! The 30x15 foot shed is just right with a jumper and small heater this time of year.
