Shed Insulation options?

    hi folks,

    Trying to consider all my options for insulation a for 10x20ft steel shed that's being installed next week.

    The steel frame is 40ml and the roof has non drip coating. I was going to put in a lino floor but I had friends than me help me with the concrete and they've done such a nice job on the finish i think i'll just paint it.

    The shed will double as a small workshop so I'll have somewhat decent tools in there and I want to insulate the shed to stop any condensation and ill also need a lot of wall shelving. Options I'm considering (and i have a €500-€850 including fittings) budget so some of these won't work i'm sure:

    1: Kingspan or quinn board insulation 40ml with 8mm ply (ply is getting really expensive)

    2: Wool with chipboard (will be painting anyway so don't overly care)

    3: A combination of the above?

    4: Aeroboard (bought in north) with ply - not sure about this one

    Any recommendations on what would be appropriate and where I would be wasting my money would be hugely appreciated! Ps i'll be doing the labour myself

    From what I’ve read on here before you’ll still get condensation unless it’s heated and ventilated. Or just ventilated

    Thanks, it will have some heat and ventilation and it will be occupied regularly.

    went with aeroboard and ply on the walls and just kingspan on the roof - all 40ml.
