Why choose an insulated summer house?
An insulated summer house allows you to use the space all year round. Without insulation, a summer house can be too cold in winter. And in summer, on the other hand, it can be too hot. This makes the space of limited use. With insulation, the temperature in your summer house remains pleasant, regardless of the season. This allows you to use it as an office or practice room, for example.
In addition, insulation ensures that your belongings, such as furniture, electronics and other sensitive items, are better protected from moisture and temperature fluctuations. This is especially important if you want to use the summer house to store things that are prone to mould and moisture.
Types of insulation for summer houses
There are several ways to insulate your summer house. Each with their own benefits and applications. Below, we discuss the three main types of insulation: wall insulation, floor insulation and roof insulation.
Wall insulation
Wall insulation is one of the most common forms of insulation for a summer house. In this method, high-quality insulation boards with a thickness of about 3 centimetres are placed between the walls. These boards help keep the heat inside during winter and out in summer. At Lugarde, the walls of your summer house are neatly finished with wooden boards that fit tightly together by means of a tongue and groove joint. This not only ensures good insulation but also a sleek finish.
Floor insulation
Floor insulation is essential for the comfort of your summer house. Especially if you plan to be there often, for example if you use the space as a workspace. Floor insulation at Lugarde consists of thermal boards 4 centimetres thick that are placed between the floor joists. This insulation makes the floor feel warm and prevents rising cold from the ground. This not only increases comfort, but it can also extend the life of your wooden floor.
Roof insulation
Roof insulation is important to prevent heat escaping through the roof, as warm air always rises upwards. At Lugarde, roof insulation is achieved using PIR rigid foam boards. These fibre-free insulation boards are coated with a mineral glass fleece and are both lightweight and easy to install. Roof insulation is important not only to prevent heat loss in winter, but also to keep the summerhouse cool during hot summer days.
Moisture protection in insulated summer houses
If you plan to use your summer house as a workspace, hobby room or storage space, it is important to also pay attention to moisture protection. By insulating, you will prevent moisture from penetrating your summer house. This can significantly extend the life of your belongings. Especially in winter, when the humidity is higher, a well-insulated and moisture-free summer house can prevent damage to your belongings.
Advantages of an insulated summer house
Insulating your summer house brings many benefits. Besides the fact that you can enjoy a comfortable temperature all year round, insulation also offers benefits in terms of energy saving and noise reduction. An insulated summer house retains heat better. Which means you won’t need to use your heather as much when heating the summer house.
In addition, insulation provides better soundproofing. This is ideal if you want to use your summer house as a music studio, workshop or hobby room where you sometimes make some noise. Even if you are just looking for a quiet place to work or relax, insulation offers extra peace of mind by reducing ambient noise.
