DIY insulating a metal building
Question about installing styrofoam insulation. Which side goes which way? We are insulating our new garage with 2" foam and I really would like the white side to show.
We are building this garage for a couple of classic cars. An 18000 BTU mini split is being installed along with some pretty cool flooring. This will be a gathering place to chill with our other car friends and do detail work and what not.
Right now we do not have plans to finish out the walls with drywall or any other material so that is why I want the white side to show. The silver side with all the writing will take away from what I had envisioned.
A quick google search told me I can install the radiant barrier side to the metal with a 1" air gap if I live in a hot climate. I am smack dab in the middle of Texas.
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thank you.
