August 27, 20251 yr This has been a really useful resource as I look at insulating the summerhouse in our garden. Was wondering how yours is holding up and whether there's anything you'd do differently?
September 2, 20251 yr Out of interest @JohnMo, given that you were aiming for a higher level of performance would you do the kit again or make something up yourself?

The kit was pretty easy overall, the additional insulation added a bit of complexity but it's very solid, pretty much keeps noise out, so quite overall. Only downside is overall airtightness. Better sliding doors would help. But at the end of the day with the dMEV fan ticking over, it's humidity stays nice and low. Heating - doing it again I would do a through wall Aircon unit for heat and cool, instead of tying into the house. The experimenter in me, would do a Larson strut if doing it again.
September 3, 20251 yr If you don't mind, what was the cost of the summer house itself? Very similar setup to what I'd like to do one day!!

September 3, 20251 yr Thank you! They look like they're pretty good. Did you get a quote for installation?
