Hello,
I am currently renovating our garden shed (wooden construction), which we recently took over and had to completely gut at first. Now I have a question about insulation, as I have the following fundamental problem:
Unfortunately, the exterior walls are completely crooked – both in terms of the floor plan lines and vertically. For the interior cladding, I now have to build a batten substructure that is straight in itself. This will, however, result in the distances between the interior wall cladding and the exterior wall varying between 8 cm and 22 cm.
My question: Is it better to attach the insulation directly to the exterior wall or directly to the interior wall cladding? In other words, where is it wiser to let the cavity arise due to the greater distance? Most walls and ceilings do not allow insulation thicker than 8 cm. That would mean that, with the uneven crooked wall, up to 14 cm of air would form between the insulation and the interior/exterior wall...
If necessary, here is further information:
The exterior walls are constructed from inside to outside as follows: wooden battens, Styrofoam, roofing felt, tongue and groove sheathing. Inside, I plan to install a vapor barrier over the insulation and then clad the wall with 12 mm multiplex panels.
Thank you for your suggestions and recommendations.
