I have an old rotten wooden clad porch that has a concrete roof (ex council house) and wooden door. One wall is brick and supports the roof and is connected to the neighbours porch. There is a post in the opposite corner to support the roof.
I am looking to rip out the rotten cladding and post and replace it with a timber framed, upvc clad version with a upvc door. What size timber framing is recommended for it? I am planning on cladding the exterior with upvc cladding and plasterboard the interior with insulation between. I presume I need to put a vapour barrier under the cladding. What insulation is best in this use? Cellotex or rock wool?
Thanks
