metal building
I am having a 60' x 30' metal building built. Would spray foam work to insulate it? Can the foam be sprayed on the celing and then painted black? Should I have the builder not install the rolled plastic insulation? This building is going to be used as a party barn and I want to air condition it. I live in South Texas and the temp gets high. Thank you for your help.

Spray it and you'll love it. We have 8100 ft² sprayed with foam (our shop). |

I live in Victoria. I was also wondering about open cell vs closed cell and what lbs .5 vs up to 3lb |

2" closed cell sides 3" closed cell lids this will give you a nice application and good thermal performance... to thermal barrier or not to thermal barrier,,,that is the question???check with your local officials up front... if you foam,,,you wont need the plastic wrapped filterglass,,, yes you can paint foam, enjoy |

I went on a job doing an old barn being converted to a mechanic's garage for his business and it was open cell. I fell in love with foam after that! A LOT quieter, more comfortable with the heat, you could see it coming out the gaps in the old walls and it was a lot nicer in the short space for overhead storage when I kept knocking my head! Foam vs. a heave wood beam on that one. My head preferred the foam when being a klutz. LOL |
