How to Insulate a Home Workshop (Part One)

New on YouTube: Insulating the Walls

For many, woodworking, or making in general, will be an activity undertaken in the spare time and in a small workshop at home. Wether it be a shed or garage, having a warm place to work, potter or just contemplate your project is crucial and simply putting heat into the space is the colder months is not the answer. When I tell you that my heating bill for the winter of 2018/19 was over £100 in order for me to work for around 4-6 hours per weekend, you can begin to see the value in taking steps to keep the heat in.

In my latest video I show you a project that I completed in early July to fully insulate a single-skin brick garage starting with the walls. I’ll show you the approach I took, look at some of the things you need to consider when installing insulation and I will run-through the project costs.

How do I go about installing insulation into my workshop is a common enough question? For a good few of you this video will be the answer. For the rest I hope it helps you in your research.
