Hi everyone, hope you are well.
I am looking to clad the inside of a 6m x 6m colorbond shed with mini corry or similar, fixed directly onto the horizontal battens, with the view of turning it into an office space. This approach appealed to me because it seemed easier and cheaper than setting up wooden framing and using plywood, plaster, and paint. I had a few questions though:
1. It was suggested to me that using steel cladding internally with insulation between it and the outer sheeting would likely not require a vapor barrier or insulation spacers because the "in between" space would have its own airflow (though limited) and would essentially be protected from the inside and outside variances (it was articulated to me more scientifically, but hopefully that still makes sense). Would you agree with this concept?
2. Is fixing the internal cladding directly to the battens okay? I didn't see a lot of this in my research, which makes me think it is a dubious approach.
3. What options are available for trimming/finishing the edges of the sheeting that will be on the ground and at each end of the wall inside the shed so that it looks "finished"?
4. At the moment, the floor is the concrete slab. If I was going to add hybrid flooring or other flooring option, I am guessing I would be better off not adding flooring trim until I have settled on the final flooring option? Would this be the process to follow?
Thanks for your help, everyone. I appreciate the guidance.
