Question:
I have a timber frame double garage with a concrete base, it has roller doors and bi fold doors. I have insulated between the studs with rockwool flexi and plan to do the same with the pitched rafters. In time i am going to use barn wood to clad the walls and pitched roof. There is no heating in the garage and i plan to use it as a gym/outdoor room. Do I need to use this product?
Answer:
Based on your description, the Novia VC2 Air & Vapour Control Layer Kit could indeed be beneficial for your project. The Novia VC2 is designed specifically for insulating roofs, walls, and floors of timber frame buildings, which includes your garage. It will help reduce heat loss and control the passage of moisture. This can improve the overall efficiency of the building and help prevent issues related to dampness and mould, which could be especially helpful in a space like a gym where humidity might be higher. However, the specific insulation needs can vary greatly depending on the exact conditions and intended use of the building. Given that, it would be advisable to consult a professional who can evaluate your specific situation and provide a more accurate recommendation. For further information about the product, we have available documents such as an Installation Guide and a Range Brochure which provide more in-depth details. These can be found on our website.
