Light & draught.

As a workshop you might want to have natural light wherever possible - but not
suffer the draughts from an open car-sized door.


Which moves us on to the missing part of the OP's question: what about
the windows?

If the walls, floor and roof have been insulated, and the door
draught-proofed, what would then be a reasonable standard and size of
windows for a combined garage/workshop?


I've just had my old DG replaced, and kept all of the sealed units.

I now have the luxury of triple glazing (as I kept the originals and
bolted the new into the recess) in my humble workshop ;-)
