dry line inside of log cabin

zooankski · 16 Oct 2010 at 23:22

My sons are hopefully :rolleyes:

vacating my man shed and it will be needing a good spruce up.
I was thinking of dry lining the inside for that nice white finish but do not want to lose too much internal room.
Is there anything i could put directly on to the wood? i am unsure about vapour barriers etc and if i would need it???
Any ideas or info would be great!
Pictures of the cabin can be seen in this thread-

Yeah you'd want a vapour barrier and some insulation. Why not just paint the walls ?

The thread title wasn't a euphemism? :confused:

I would love to get it back! not too sure about painting the walls though. If i needed a vapour barrier then where would it go??? ie i would put battens on the inside then barrier and plasterboard directly on top? or barrier direct against log walls??? i susppect directly behind the plaster but not 100%

is it already insulated?

it has underfloor insulation, insulation in the loft area and kingspan below the roof tiles. It also has double glazing which just leaves the 44mm thick walls.
