Turn your garden shed into a year-round workspace, gym, or studio with professional insulation. We insulate walls, floors, and roofs using high-performance materials that keep Edinburgh's cold out and your warmth in.
Service Overview
An uninsulated shed in Edinburgh is only comfortable for a few months of the year. Temperatures inside an uninsulated timber structure can drop below freezing in winter and soar in summer. Insulation transforms your shed into a genuinely usable space — 365 days a year.
We use 50mm Celotex (or equivalent PIR board) as standard for walls and roof, with 25mm or 50mm options for floors. PIR insulation offers the best thermal performance per millimetre, meaning you lose minimal internal space while gaining significant warmth.
All insulation is fitted between the structural timbers, covered with a vapour barrier to prevent condensation, and finished with 9mm OSB or plywood lining. The result is a clean, dry, warm interior ready for painting, shelving, or electrics.
Insulation is particularly popular for garden offices, home gyms, art studios, and workshop sheds where you need to work comfortably in all seasons. Combined with a small electric heater, an insulated shed maintains a comfortable temperature even in the depths of a Scottish winter.
Problems We Solve
Freezing Winters
50mm PIR insulation dramatically reduces heat loss, making your shed comfortable even in January.
Condensation
Vapour barriers and proper ventilation eliminate the condensation that damages tools and stored items.
Summer Overheating
Insulation works both ways — it keeps your shed cooler in summer by blocking radiant heat through the roof.
Unusable Space
Insulation turns a seasonal storage shed into a year-round workspace, office, or studio.
Damp & Moisture
Insulated, vapour-sealed walls prevent moisture from penetrating and causing mould or rot.
Energy Waste
If you're heating an uninsulated shed, most of that energy escapes through walls and roof. Insulation cuts heating costs dramatically.
Our Process
Assessment
We inspect your shed's construction, measure internal dimensions, and recommend the right insulation specification.
Insulation Fitted
PIR boards are cut and friction-fitted between studs in walls, floor, and roof. No gaps, no cold bridges.
Vapour Barrier
A continuous vapour control layer is stapled over the insulation to prevent condensation forming inside the walls.
Interior Lining
9mm OSB or plywood is fixed over the vapour barrier, creating a clean, finished interior ready for use.
