Picture No2 shows the air gap under your shed, this IMO should be left alone and not boxed in and filled with expanding foam or whatever.
We plan on using the workshop during winter months, the reason i'm insulating. Do you think an overlay of MDF would keep the floor warm enough?

I dont really have a problem with putting a false floor down. I was thinking of doing this originally by laying 50mm poly sheeting, or at least using 30mm, and using plywood as the floor base. MDF would be cheaper I think.

Would using ONLY MDF be enough?
