Re: Internal insulation of garage wall?
Sounds a good plan, you can get thermal board with plasterboard attached if desired. You can also stick it to the wall with special mortar if you want, you do need straightish walls for this method, if space is not a problem go as thick on the insulation as you can. Don't believe much difference between brands you pays yer penny etc. Good luck

Re: Internal insulation of garage wall?
Hi,
Recommend you take a look at this video (acquired from Oddyseus2000 on the Musk endeavours thread)
https://youtu.be/sSE8PurhfQs
At 6’ 20” the owner demonstrates the insulating material he started with, and what he’s using now. Almost unbelievable, but the original is some 50cm thick, while the new material, which has the same insulating property, is only 10mm thick.

Cheers, will take a look, much appreciated.

I'm not sure that would be best suited to your purpose. It will be more expensive and require specialist installation and it is breakable.

Cheers, presently, looking around - Celotex PL4000 seems ideal. It's 2400x1200 I bet I could have the job done in less than two hours once I have cleared the junk and bought the stuff. Plasterboard surface so can emulsion it after taping the joints. Looks easy. No fire service restrictions which is obviously important. I think the 40 + 12mm version would be perfect.

Sounds good to me.

Re: Internal insulation of garage wall?
You've got it covered, the garage is going to be warmer than the outside world so 2x2 (47mm) battens with celotex between and 12.5mm board over will do. IF you want to mount hooks etc on the wall you could consider using 18mm plywood/OSB/flooring board instead of or under the plasterboard as whilst it will cost a bit more you can just scew directly into it, the garage should be suitably fire enclosed so the risk is a lot less than a leaky old moped in there.
Finally don't paint it, just use one of these...

Something like this if you are sticking your insulation up

Any DIY store will stock similar, will even out minor imperfections as well.

Re: Internal insulation of garage wall?
ReallyVeryFoolish wrote:A question please - RVF Towers has an integral garage where the rear wall of the garage is the wall of the downstairs cloak room. The wall of the cloakroom is always very cold in winter. Before autumn arrives, I intend to insulate the wall from the garage side. I envisage some wooden battens on the wall (single cinder block of some description construction) spaced apart to accomodate some thermal insulation boards (Celotax style, other brands obviously out there) likely taped to hold in position and painted over. I think 40 or 50mm thick insulation board would be enough. Question is, there's such a huge choice out there with different fire ratings, insulation ratings etc.... It's very hard to see the wood for the trees. Any TLFers out there done a similar thing, and have insulation board they recommend? Thanks.
PS - Wall area is not large, maybe 2.5m x 3m.

RVF, Bearing in mind the fact that the garage is integral into the house, I would suggest being mindful of any implications or Building Regulation restrictions, in relation to fire risks.
