*****************************************************************
Can I bounce some thoughts off all the experts out there, please?
I've got plans for just this arrangement of electric heaters, plus
dehumidifier(s), in my garage (which is detached from the house by 30ft,
with two walls party to other garages). I also plan foam-backed dry lining
on walls and ceiling, with draught excluders and insulated backing on the
doors.
Having killed all the draughts, I understand I'll then need to install air
extraction for use during composite work.
I figure if I don't get the environment right first time, it'll cost me far
more in the long run in both rework and energy costs. A nice cosy workshop
when I'm not doing composites will be nice too.
Can anyone comment on this plan? Is it all necessary, and have I missed
something?
I'm not sure if the dehumidifiers are necessary - has anyone tried them in a
composite workshop in the UK climate and measured the results?
Regards,
Jeremy
