Clearly Nick, the only fitting solution in your play room, are three heating / airconditioning units, one over each door, providing an air curtain much like shops often have. (I know Nick's Motor House and garage is far too coarse a term for it!) He muttered suffering garage envy!

Popping out to his H&S nightmare hole, to look at someones engine for an hour....
Stuart that is a brilliant solution, actually combined with triple glazed bi-fold doors.........umm


Ok so a serious suggestion.... in some commertial workshops they have a curtain of 8" wide vertical strips of heavy plastic which you can just walk through or drive a car through.

The foil backed insulation is called Cellatex or similar. Unfortunately Nicks doors roll up at the top, so you cant add any significant thicknes to them. It would work well to insulate the roof, although in effective thickness' it is quite expensive.

The gold and silver "space blanket" plastic film stuck to the inside of the door would stop the drafts through the door itself.

Found a much cheaper solution - going to be 34C here today!
