Welcome back all of you fantastic subscribers. In this video we explain how to insulate and plasterboard the Garden Room.
We insulate using Actis Hybris multi foil insulation which we believe is the best way to get the job done.
We also demonstrate how to get the plasterboard up and how to cut the ceiling lights and sockets out.
Thanks for watching, we hope you enjoy and please remember too subscribe for more great tutorials.
See you on the next one!

With the reveals, you may find it easir to fit and then trim with stanley knife after

If you reverse your drill when cutting out down lights you do not get anywhere the amount of dust flying around and if you catch a cable, because the cutter is going in reverse less likely to damage it. Hole saw still cuts plasterboard no problem even in reverse

Is a vapor barrier not needed before the plasterboard

Is the floor insulated?

I don't understand why you are not using a membrane on the ceiling, I know when you cut the down lights you break the seal but what about condensation rotting the ceiling.

I as also thinking this too. Most build have a vapor barrier also between the insulation and the plasterboard

@davideyres955 Жыл бұрын

Depends on the amount of humidity in the room and the temperature drop across the insulation. I’d be going for a vapour control layer personally, but given it’s not going to be used a that much it’s prob ably not going to be that bad. Typically you’re better off with a warm roof construction but this impacts height and you either cut down height or run the risk of it being outside permitted development.

This was my thoughts, surely this is more important than in a centrally heated space as the temperature fluctuates in relation to use? This was a key element that was added due to the inherent issues caused by the earlier ‘modern’ timber frame houses built, no? Happy to be corrected?

Hi mate great video. Are there any drawbacks to using drywall over OSB for a Garden Room. I have OSB exterior, insulation then OSB interior, but would like to finish the interior with drywall panels and plaster for more insulation and better finish.

take the usb interior off and then replace it with drywall? If not then just batten out the internal drywall and fix the plaster board to the, put them every 400mm like you would stud work and that will be fine

Hi, love your content. Do you not have to leave a 50mm gap between roof and insulation?

@creategardenrooms 6 ай бұрын

Not 50mm no, just a bit for air flow or do a hybrid and push insulation right up to the deck 👍

Hi. ! Just came across your channel. I have just recently had an insulated metal Garden Shed installed. I would later like to have internal insulation with plasterboard done. Is this possible and could you suggest what kind of insulation would work. Would Sheep's Wool be a good option to install and then the plasterboard ? I'm watching from Dublin. 🍀🍀🍀

Plasterers don't like lights drilled out lol

Haha, well at least light holes won’t dent their trowel 😉 They’ll have to put up with it!!

So, what's that ceiling? Cold roof or warm roof? No ventilation and no vapour barrier is what I see.

@creategardenrooms 9 ай бұрын

Hybrid roof bud 👍 Why put a vapour barrier in and then cut holes in to for the lights 🤔 Low occupancy rooms don't need all that. No showers ect for high moisture release. Thanks for watching. See you on the next one 😃

Wow, obviously not qualified electricians wiring the sockets outside. The cable would need to exterior graded to with stand the temperature changes and need mechanical protection because they are not run within the permitted zones for the cabling. ⚡️⚡️dangerous ⚡️⚡️

Hi new sub here. Spark by trade. I think someone mentioned running the holesaw in reverse it's great for a cleaner cut. I'm just wondering why you don't dryliner style instead on fully plastered walls then you could do it yourself and a big reduction in cost?

@creategardenrooms Жыл бұрын

Thanks for subscribing! Much appreciated. Yes the hole saw in reverse is awesome!! Wicked idea can’t believe I never thought of that!! Thank you. I wonder this aswell! Although I have always presumed plaster is a better finish? Most of the competition all plaster their rooms so it’s the industry standard really.
