Hello- is there any body out there?
MrDavo:
I thought long and hard when my concrete garage was put up about whether to insulate or not. In the end I decided that air circulation was more important, and cut vents into both gable ends. You can create a snug warm garage that is a total moisture magnet inside if it is poorly ventilated. A builder client of mine owns several properties, he says if he leaves one empty it is more important to leave a window open somewhere so there is air circulation. Nothing ever went damp or rusty by just being cold, moist air is needed too.
As well as a heater for cold days in the garage, I do have a dehumidifier - I have mostly used it when I've had no option but to put a bike or car away wet, it can fill up overnight with a surprising amount of water. One thing I have noticed is that if it is cold enough it does absolutely zilch - it can run all night and not produce a drop. I think it's because cold air can't hold much moisture the way that warm air does, but it's been a while since I did O Level Physics.

I've been thinking about insulating my garage door was thinking of using Cellotex/Kingspan and sticking it to inside with solvent free adhesive but that looks easier.

;D I use the wife's Tim although she doesn't know that just as she is unaware I use the oven to cure painted parts, the dishwasher to clean wiring looms and possibly the bath as a giant parts washer just as Jack Duckworth did when he restored a BSA Bantam on Coronation Street all those years ago 😁
The description of the product I used on the door from Wicks is:
YBS Superquilt Multifoil 40mm Insulation Roll 1.2 X 10m Roll
Product code: 166805
I also used a brush type draft excluder on the top and bottom of the door, it was like a gale blowing through some days without it.
