Thanks for sharing your experience. I have a metal garage similar to yours except smaller. And I watched about 20 videos on insulating one of them and have seen about 12 different methods. Each method seems to have its pros and cons. I hope you are satisfied with the results.

I thought the silver side was supposed to face the metal so it can block the metal from radiating heat

what size building and how much did that all cost?

@ricwayneoutdoors Жыл бұрын

Did your insulation stay up. I’ve tried several gluing adhesive. Finally used furring strips

With only 1/2 in foam, did it do what you wanted for cooling and heating?

@hodgepodgegarage3911 Жыл бұрын

It’s doing it’s job good enough lol the building holds heat really well and the ac got it down to 75 when it was in the 90s outside, now granted it takes about an hour to 2 hours to get it to cool down but for what it cost I think it’s good, I called for spray foam and they quoted me 6500$ so that option was out lol

If you're in a hot location you would need about four of those AC units for the shop, even with your insulation.

I’ve already thought about adding another it take about 3 hours for it to cool down in the summer

@@hodgepodgegarage3911 It must not get that hot there. I live where it's 100+ on some days, that unit you installed wouldn't even keep a small garage cool. Your shop looks great.

The roll up doors let lots of heat in. Insulated sectional doors would be much better. But metal buildings are not easy to cool if they have no shade and are in hot climates.

Why not overlay the insulation boards under the metal siding? Much simpler and efficient.

@benjaminbailey7429 4 ай бұрын

You are losing over half of the R factor by not having the foil face the metal to radiate the heat back and also you need a 1/2” gap for even a higher at factor. But overall it looks great

What size is your metal shed

@petertheis1695 11 ай бұрын

What size if your building and how many total sheets did you use?

@hodgepodgegarage3911 11 ай бұрын

The building is a 24x40 12 high I honestly couldn’t tell you I want to say it was about 90 sheets somewhere around that

Isn’t there supposed to be a gap between the metal walls and insulation ?

@jonkalm 9 ай бұрын

And isn’t the foil supposed to face the wall ?

@MalleusDei275 8 ай бұрын

Simple rule of thumb...Foil faces where you want to keep the heat

@basketballjones6782 7 ай бұрын

According to everything I've ever read about insulation, apparently the thermal bridge that is created from your support poles pretty much negates any R value that this insulation may afford. Look it up.

@patmcbride9853 6 ай бұрын

The support poles' surface area is tiny compared to the walls, so the insulation has a great effect. But covering the poles would also make a difference.

@hodgepodgegarage3911 5 ай бұрын

Yes I’m in sc near the beach, the humidity is the biggest problem, the ac keeps the building around 78-80 mid summer heat which feels like a fridge compared to the 90s and humid outside lol

@@markfayerman1206 I’m sure spray foam is better but the cheapest quote I got was 7k for spray foam so that was out of the question

@markfayerman1206 5 ай бұрын

@@hodgepodgegarage3911 do you feel a bigger AC unit would bring the temp down further, I guess I am asking do you have an undersized minisplit. Or would a dual zone mini split work better. I could something similar to what you did (foam insulation and minisplit) it would still be cheaper then sprayfoam alone. I was looking at buying 2" foam boards they are $25 a board.

Any condensation issues so far?

@hodgepodgegarage3911 8 ай бұрын

None that I’ve noticed, the concrete has a plastic moisture barrier under it and I spray foamed all the cracks I could find before insulating it

@@tmontel2116 it works good for what it is, it’s only 1/2” insulation and I k ew when I installed it it wasn’t gonna be a refrigerator in there but that mini split unit I have says it heats up to I think 1500ft2 and in the summer at like 95 outside it will keep the inside in the high 70s which is all I can ask for from it! I was thinking about doing an update now I have the addition to the garage that’s uninsulated, might make a video comparing the 2 without the ac on
