Re: Workshop lining
My shed is lined with MDF sheets affixed to the uprights. Behind that is a vapour barrier. Behind that, between the uprights, is four inches of loft insulation. The outer skin is weatherboarding. A-frames are wood to avoid opportunities for condensation. Over the top of those is sterling board, then bitumen-coated felt, then spacing battens, then sheet steel roofing.
The whole wooden structure sits atop three courses of breeze blocks, with a DPC. These are founded upon a 18" concrete slab, with a proper DPC. The thing's been up for seven years and there isn't a spot of damp, even amidst papers stored in there.
I've not seen MDF mentioned so far, but the thicker stuff, provided it's used in a proper system, is great, strong enough for sockets, etc., and adds to the insulation. Hope this is helpful.
Regards,
Richard
