On the side walls the small additional foam pieces should be at floor level. That way heat loss from the seam is less and easier to install. Instead of being on a ladder.

I just purchased a 30x30 garage from big building direct and I was researching on insulating it and came across your video, I’ve seen guys put furring strips up and using adhesive and double sided tape and all kinds of things I would have to say I love the way you are doing this with pressure fitting. It’s clean and the table saw is giving you a nice square cut and I will be doing the same thing! Thank you for this video. You wouldn’t have to have an updated video on how your garage feels after install would you?

I am glad you liked it. I should have an update soon

Make sure you allow an air gap between the foam board and the exterior walls.

O yes about ¾ inch

I really wish I could go with a regular garage door like yours. I need the roll up door if I want to install a lift. Otherwise I can't open the door when my truck is on the lift.

Trick with the foil tape if you get hvac all weather tape it will stick much better and if you put a strip of duct tape first it will even stick better . Or just silicone in between the joints

I would have laid them flat on a clean floor so they don't get any memory bends in them from leaning against a wall

We are getting ready to build a 26x40x10 steel building. What dimension size did you go with for footer and small support wall? Finished project looks really nice.

Sorry for the delayed reply I have a 24 by 50 and the footer is the same , i used a 2 by 4 around the footer for the steel Never lets water in

Did you seal the gaps at the corners and roof eaves? How about above the roll-up garage door?

@jordantheallmighty 2 ай бұрын

A lot of shop-vacs cant keep up with the output of the saw. Might have to check if the hose gets clogged, if not the foam gets hot and melts to everything.

If you're going to heat the space wouldn't it be better to have the foil side facing inside the garage to reflect the heat?

I read the foil part goes in the inside to act as a element for heater and AC like conductor. ?

Not sure keeps the heat out aswell need to dig into it more

@cae2024 19 күн бұрын

When they install the bubble wrap when installing building they put the foil towards the outer panels to stop heat penetration to keep your building cooler on the inside.
