Insulation | ||||||
If you are planning to use your cabin in all seasons, you will need to add some kind of heating. | ||||||
To avoid costly heating bills, we would advise you to insulate the roof and the floor of your cabin. | ||||||
This job is best done when the cabin is being installed, as it can be done to a better standard. | ||||||
Cabins have pressure treated foundation bearers of 45mm or 68mm tall which sit on your base to support your cabin. |
||||||
Your tongue and groove floorboards sit on top of the bearers which leaves a void in between each beam. | ||||||
You can therefore insulate between your bearers with either 40mm or 50mm thick Celotex type insulation. | ||||||
You could just use thin 25mm insulation, but this does seem rather pointless when you have a larger gap. |
||||||
It is not much more expensive to buy 40mm or 50mm and do the job properly! | ||||||
If we are installing your cabin we can also quote to insulate your roof and floor. | ||||||
If you are installing your own cabin we can advise you how to insulate, and estimate materials required for you. | ||||||
