poppyman Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 That stuff is brilliant Steve, if you do the whole building in that stuff you won't have any condensation problems Plus it will last a lifetime. If you are having a metal up and over door? Line it with the product i mentioned above. Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain +1 again; great product for both insulation and soundproofing - both my house and garage are stuffed full of it! (It's manufactured about six miles from my house too) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain T Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Kingspan started in Ireland and are now global and yes they do manufacture some parts in the UK which for me is a big plus. They make very good insulation that doesn't catch fire! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thescrapman Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 That is the stuff. Doing the walls in it as well added a fair bit to the price (12mx8m) and I wanted vertical walls so I lined the walls with insulation and OSB. you can get it up to 4 inches I think, that would make for a very warm garage!

Iain T Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Buy it ready insulated with inner and outer skins. If Kingspan don't supply the finisher parts in the correct exterior colour there are plenty of companies around that make Plastisol flashings. Having said that Kingspan do have some unique colours to prevent people doing exactly that! You could use a Metsec frame to fix it to. Again a properly engineered system that makes life so much easier. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin Lindsay Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 Have a look at some of the shed companies websites for comparisons and ideas. My last one was built by Gary at this firm: http://www.larachbuildings.com Far from you, I know, but check the site where you'll find lots of ideas of colour and style, and other similar firms will have variations: some use angle iron, some box section, some galvanise, others just paint, and some will insulate and clad the walls too. All for an ever higher price of course! http://washingbaysheds.com/garages/ This lot might not be far from you; it pays to call over, have a look at what they do, pick up tips and ideas and plan your own accordingly, then build it yourself for a tenth of the price... https://www.rhfgardenbuildings.co.uk/contact-us-sheds-isle-of-wight/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveweblin Posted August 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I have bought timber from RHF they are very friendly and helpful. I think their buildings are kits from elsewhere they are resellers not manufacturers. Some of their log cabins are Polish so somebody told me. Just looked at their website one of the downloads is for Estonian wood cabins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveweblin Posted August 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I have visited and talked to these people who are IOW based. https://www.jr-roofingiw.co.uk/roofing-supplies.php they build stuff like barns and stables - I can get the steel cladding from them. They hold stock of the common stuff and get made to measure any lenght and any colour within 2 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
