I am in the process of refurbishing my outside garage, which has one external door and a typical normal garage door. I have read about the problem of damp and am concerned. I am proposing to to put Self leveling compound on the floor to seal the bare concrete (45 years old) and then cladding the walls with shiplap. I think that the easiest insulation would be foam boards,. I am wondering how to damp proof it in order to prevent the project going pear shape with lots of mould etc. The roof is flat and uninsulated.
I have looked on lots of sites and got confused as to the best solution...
Any suggestions would be greatfully received. Thank you
Peter

Insulated Internal Cladding of an outside Garage
Yes it is confusing, are you just going to use it as a garage or will there be heating? What is the garage material, walls and roofing and how much height have you to play with for the floor compound thickness, as a vapour barrier first before laying would be a very good idea?
