[jim evans]

[Maxsys]

Insulation (Celotex or the like 50mm or thicker), oil filled radiator works in my shed

[jim evans]

thought of kingspan but will have to wait till summer to fit for next year

[Maxsys]

Yep it works pretty well, for now as suggested boot the misses out of the kitchen

[billabong]

Will / can it also get just too hot in the summer Jim ?

Seem to remember Jason mentioning his shed was like a furnace some days . .

[Maxsys]

Celotex or Kingspan wil keep heat in in winter and keep heat out during summer, its a win win

I have a new workshop now, bit more sturdy and weather prof, and have 2 heaters, 1 at each end so not too bad.
Trouble more with condensation drips off the roof.
Just when I thought I had everything i need, a humidifier or 2 needed next!!

You need ventilation as well as insulation probably the roof is not vented, normally when using some sort of insulation there should be an air gap between the insulation and the roof/outside world, ideally with a breathable membrane in place as well. Any direct contact with the warm air inside, and the cold outside wil cause this issue, if not dealt with you could end up with a damp/mould problem.
