Default Re: Workshop lining

My workshop walls consist of a 4" x 2" timber frame, outside is finished with pine floorboarding painted with several layers of shed / fence paint, under that is a breathable membrane moisture barrier. In between the frame is insulation, 50mm Recticel (foam with foil on both sides, similar stuff to Cellotex and Kingspan, but cheaper! Think it might be Jewson's own brand) inside walls are Sterling board, just because I bought loads of it as the plywood we bought for the floor was abysmal quality... It makes a good strong surface to fix sockets to and is also great for screwing wall mounted shelving to where ever you want it. It's a sod to paint it though! If you are not bothered about strength, plasterboard is cheap and easy to work with, no need to paint it unless it's dirty. I think you can also get plasterboard with a foil backing on it, maybe even some with insulation on it too.

The Recticel insulation comes in other sizes, I think the smallest was 20mm, up to 100mm.

Regards,
Lloyd
