What Is An Insulated Shed?
You might come across the term insulated garden shed when searching for the ideal garden storage shed. An insulated shed is a garden building designed to preserve the integrity of your store’s tools.
The robust design includes weather-resistant exterior cladding, ensuring durability while minimising heat loss. Perfect for hobbyists or those needing extra storage, insulated wooden sheds combine functionality with energy efficiency, making them a practical investment for any outdoor space.
An insulated timber shed is ideal for storing sensitive items, working on projects year-round, or serving as a comfortable workspace. Minimising temperature fluctuations helps protect against moisture, pests, and other environmental factors compromising the integrity of stored goods or equipment.
What Are The Benefits of Insulated Sheds?
Enhanced Security A garden shed with insulation provides an extra layer of security for your valuable tools and equipment. The robust construction and added insulation make it more difficult for intruders to break in, giving you peace of mind that your belongings are safe. The thick walls and reinforced doors of our insulated sheds deter theft and vandalism, ensuring that your shed remains secure at all times.
Energy Efficiency Our insulated garden sheds are designed to be highly energy-efficient, helping you save on energy costs. The insulation reduces the need for additional heating or cooling, maintaining a comfortable temperature inside the shed throughout the year. This is particularly beneficial if you use your shed as a workspace that requires heating. Our shed’s energy efficiency benefits your wallet and contributes to a greener environment by reducing energy consumption.
Protection from Moisture and Condensation Insulated sheds offer superior protection against moisture and condensation, which can damage your tools and equipment. The insulation prevents dampness from seeping into the shed, keeping the interior dry and your belongings in good condition. This is especially important for metal tools and machinery susceptible to rust and corrosion.

Are There Any Other Options Other Than DIY Insulation? And How Much?
Our 45 years in the timber garden building industry means we can offer an optional insulation service for all our Platinum and Sapphire range of buildings, where they would be insulated and then lined. By taking up this option, your new garden building can be used all year round and not just in the warmer months.
The building would be insulated with foil-backed insulation, which enhances the temperature within the building. There is a choice of internal claddings ranging from plywood, board or T&G to suit your needs and requirements. Internal timber trims are added to ensure an excellent cosmetic finish.
On each Platinum shed order form, there is the cost for the insulation, so you can decide before ordering whether it will be cost-effective for you. We can also insulate the floor, but you must call to get this cost. You can use your new insulated shed all year round by deciding on the lining and insulation option.
How much better would that be for you? Only you can decide. But it will make it an even more attractive proposition when the weather could be better. How you use these extra days and hours is up to you, but going down and having some ‘me’ time is worth it. It will take a little while to decide if this is an excellent opportunity for you – a great leisure building for all the family.

Can you insulate a shed after it's built?
Yes, it is possible to insulate a shed after construction is complete. This can be done by adding insulation material to the walls, ceilings, and floors. The process may involve installing insulation batts, foam boards, or spray foam insulation to improve thermal efficiency. Additionally, sealing gaps or cracks in the shed's structure can help prevent heat loss and maintain a comfortable temperature. Insulating a shed post-construction can significantly enhance its energy efficiency and comfort levels.
-
Do I need an air gap when insulating a shed?
When insulating a shed, an air gap is only sometimes necessary. Insulation works by trapping air within its fibres to slow down heat transfer. If the insulation material is thick enough to create a barrier against heat loss, an additional air gap may not be required. However, if the shed is prone to moisture buildup, incorporating an air gap between the insulation and the shed's interior wall can help prevent condensation and mould growth. Ultimately, the decision to include an air gap will depend on the specific circumstances of the shed and the type of insulation being used.
-
Is insulating a shed worth it?
Insulating a shed can increase energy efficiency, making it worthwhile in certain circumstances. Factors to consider include the shed's purpose, climate conditions, and intended use frequency. Insulation can help regulate temperature, reduce moisture build-up, and protect stored items. If the shed is used frequently or for temperature-sensitive items, insulating it can provide a more comfortable and reliable space. It may also increase the shed's lifespan by preventing damage from extreme temperatures. Insulating a shed can be a valuable choice for those looking to maximize usability and protect stored items.
