Keep warm in your studio this winter

Advice on how to insulate your studio for the winter months

Architects Phineas Manasseh and Stephen Setford have installed their own insulation as follows:

- Put in a chipboard raised floor supported on cardboard tubes on end with 200mm Rockwool insulation (B+Q £3 per roll)

- Line the roof with 200mm Rockwool insulation (B+Q £3 per roll) supported by reinforced fire proof kraft paper and cardboard angles (normally used as protection corners in packaging)..

If you need help installing SPACE recommend David Barker: davidbarker@diamondinteriorsolutions.co.uk

He is willing to get involved and price works where several neighbouring artists want studios insulated, providing better economy of scale.
