Steel sheds / garages
Spitfire:
Used some on my daughters bathroom (wet room) ceiling and walls, and it does work though it's horrible to apply.
Cheers

Of course, if the air is dry then you won't get condensation ;) . My previous shed I built was lined in rockwool/celatex and OSB and It was excellent. Now I use a dehumidifier (dessicant type as this works down to almost zero degC)

I did exactly the same to my garage Matt. It's a pre-cast Compton garage. I used 50mm celatex on the floor as well after making up joists using 50x50 pressure treated timber at 200mm centres with 18mm marine ply over the top and then 10mn interlocking tiles on top of the ply. It made a massive difference, no condensation or damp whatsoever. I used to run the dessicant type dehumidifier in the winter but that stopped last year when even on the lowest setting it was costing 12p/hour to run. I wrapped the bikes up in vac bags last winter and no issues at all (apart from getting the bikes into the bags!). I replaced the corrugated cement roof when it cracked. I replaced it with metal profile insulated sheets from a company called Steadmans. I wanted to build a block garage but the council refused me permission but allowed me to build a concrete pre-cast the same size saying it was classed as temporary, I erected it 27 years ago, hardly temporary!
Matt_Harrington:
Dave, how durable are the Vac-Bags? Always thought these would be good for longer term storage etc
McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
Are Vac Bags expensive?
How do you create the Vacuum?
Are they re- useable?
