Best Yurts for Insulation

[Surely Yurts - Steve]

What kind of yurt are you looking to insulate?

If you want a "from the manufacturer"

insulation

package most of the different companies will ship pre-fab packages for their yurts. If you have the money this would be the best way to go.

Generally a roll of reflective

insulation

like prodex 72" will be all you need to DIY. Most local big box home improvement stores will stock 4' rolls of reflectix or astrofoil. Sometimes the 6" wide roll can make installation a lot easier and more effective but you will most likely need to order that in-store or online.

Moisture

issues usually stem from improper ventilation/air-flow. If you put a liner inside the insulation make sure to use a fabric that is flame retardant and resistant to mildew (not cotton, fleece, or denim). Consider adding a circulation fan into the yurt. For those of us with 12V systems a computer cooling fan works well and takes very little energy to run.
