I'm about to insulate a summer house or actually a treehouse as it's 6ft off the ground. It's 8ft x 10ft. Joists and studs all 3x2 inch so only got
70mm space for insulation. I'm thinking 25mm celotex all around. With 45mm air gap between outside cladding and insulation. Going to use foil tape for all gaps on inside. Then 5mm plywood for inner cladding.
I've used shiplap cladding on outside and used sealant all around to stop water getting in through any gaps at the edges.
Now I'm thinking is this a mistake? Could condensation build up between inside and outer cladding and not escape?
It will only be heated once per week. Used as a cinema room.
2nd question , the floor only has 50mm space, so is it worth messing around with an air gap here or should I just put my inner cladding, 5 or 9mm plywood directly on top of 50mm celotex?
