So, I'm in the planning stages of building a barndominium (commercial metal building finished on the inside as a residential home) and I need to educate myself on Insulation Strategy
When the metal building guys put up the shell, they will be using roll insulation on the roof and walls like you would see on the inside of a commercial metal building. I hear this is for preventing the metal walls from sweating and this roll insulation doesn't have a lot of R value
So, there will be wood studs along the walls of the structure where insulation will be used between the studs like you';d see in a regular house... so what's the best brand to use? And are the sections of insulation kept in place using staples from a staple gun?
And the same insulation will be used between the studs on top as well. Do I need to consider using wrap on the studs facing the outer walls? Like the stuff at: INTELLO PLUS
There's already going to be space between the metal walls that have roll insulation that comes with the metal building and there will be insulation in between the studs... so is using the wrap stuff needed to help seal the inside?
What other advice should I be looking for to help my project to be as efficient as possible?
Because it costs so much, I'm not considering spray in foam insulation and wanted to do something more conventional.
