After many hours reading about Yurts and how to insulate them. I have come to the thoughts that using insulated foam board from hardware stores is the overall best option. I don't want to cover up the beauty of the lattice work, so after careful planning and talking to the people at
, here appears to be the issue.
I will use 1" rigid foam board on the walls and 3/4 on the roof because of the tighter fitting fabric. Here is how it should work.
Install inner liner, then install the Astro Shield Bubble Reflective Barrier, then install the rigid foam board reflective side out, then the outer shell. Same for the roof. This should offer some comfort level in the colder/hotter months.
My main questions now are of
build up.Is there
buildup with using rigid foam boards? There have been many discussions on here about that and the most given answer is to open the
and turn up the heat! Not a problem, however I will be installing four real windows in the 30' yurt as well, so that will help with venting out the moisture.
I don't know what kind of wood burning stove I am going to get, however after reading on here it appears that I should get a big one around 48k BTU or higher to help heat things up. Any suggestions on that would be greatly helpful.
