Question Is it necessary to isolate an OSB enclosure?

Hi everyone!

The enclosure from my burm is built from OSB (Oriented strand boards), and even though the seller (which happens to be also the breeder) told me it wouldn't be necessary to isolate it, this issue has been bugging me... I am capable of mantaining the temps and humidity, even though I always need to keep a close eye on the last one. But I do feel like a lot of the heat and moist escapes through the wood. I am also a bit worried about the fact that the wood may not be capable of surviving the high humidities that burms need, and I honestly want this enclosure to last me at least one more year.

Would it make sense to isolate the material? If yes, how? I always used glass enclosures, but I like the look of the wooden ones (silly me, I know -.-), so I decided to try it.

What do you guys think?
