I live in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada and I am in the process of converting our attached garage into a heated woodworking shop. I plan to heat it to 55-60 degrees which is colder than the 20-22 degrees of the house. I plan to vapour barrier and insulate the exterior walls and ceiling with Roxul batt insulation.
I am not sure what to do with the interior walls and half the ceiling, that are already vapoured and insulated from inside the house. Roxul is advertised as having some sound proof qualities and I was considering building a wall (ceiling) that would be isolated from the current wall and insulating it with Roxul to give some additional sound proof from my power tools.
As well I’m not sure what to do at the bottom of the exterior walls, which are concrete to about 18″ high (footing?) from the concrete garage floor. I was planning to cover the garage floor with 3/4″ plywood to give it a warmer and softer feel.
Any input is appreciated,
