Garage Wall Insulation

Hi all,

Looking to insulate garage internal walls myself and then plasterboard.

Garage built with cavity blocks (see attached). Garage is bone dry all year round bar some minor damp coming through a very small area during heavy driving winter rain.

What are the options for insulation?

Is Kingspan insulated plasterboard direct to cavity block a typical approach if I sort the minor damp?

Maybe a breathable membrane (tyvex roof membrane) could be applied to wall prior to fixing insulated plasterboard?

or maybe I need stud partition 50mm out from wall?

thanks

Not being funny - but why are you looking to insulate the garage? Do you intend on using it as a study/office or only for dry storage, or another consideration?

Do you intend on plastering it afterwards or just going with the board finish and tape and level off?

Thanks for reply.

Garage currently used as a small gym space plus usual garage storage stuff.

Probably skim coat finish with a view to possible office space in future so would like to ensure that I proceed correctly.

Ok, sensible.

And what about the ceiling, has that been insulated? And likewise, what about the entrance, etc?

Not currently insulated. Planned to install kingspan insulated plasterboard on ceiling/rafters at same time, just not sure how to proceed with walls.

Insulated garage doors installed.

thanks
