Garden room / posh shed /workshop build log

Just realised where the issue really manifests. I haven't even clad there :cry:

Decking will cover it in fullness of time. Get the issue now! Wonder if I will have the same challenge.

I'm guilty of checking your thread when looking at a few bits haha!

Looks like a few on fb group who've had the same issue. As you say the bits under decking doesn't matter. So for me the left window will be the only one impacted and it's the least "seen" one
 
What did you guys use to seal around window & door openings once you’d cut the building wrap? Flexwrap seems to be the thing but it’s so damn expensive!

I’ve run armoured cable under the deck/path/lawn now, just waiting for the spark to get back from holiday so he can do the first fix, then I can finish the internal insulation.

I've just used Plumbers Gold to seal it to the wood. It is fully breathable so any moisture will soon dry off.

Ive not really put anything on it, the expanding foam meets the window /over it.

I figured not much would get behind the composite cladding.
 
If its 20 years old it maybe PUR rather than PIR. PIR has better flame resistance and slightly lower smoke emissivity. Insulation value would be slightly lower, it degrades over time but to such a small extent you wouldnt really notice.
