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 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
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.
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.
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.

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

Make sure you allow an air gap between the foam board and the exterior walls.
O yes about ¾ inch
@@Steveoman1964 That works.

Thanks
Couldn't you overlay the foam board with the sheathing on the outside of the metal studs? Working great on mine.
Still working on the ceiling
@@Steveoman1964 works on ceiling and roofs. The heat won't transfer with the metal then....

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
I would hook my shop vac to the dust port on the table saw to control the mess.
Thanks I will for sure

Did you seal the gaps at the corners and roof eaves? How about above the roll-up garage door?
Yes using spray foam from a can in corners Thanks
I would try house wrap tape. I have some and you better put it where you want it the first time!! 🤣🤦🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
Thanks I will
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?
Hi yes you may have a point but iam thinking of the heat in the summer as well
where did you buy the foam? Home Depot wants $35 a sheet and goes down to $30.56 a sheet when you buy 10 or more where I live
I bought it at Home depot in Ontario Ohio other Home depot stores had different pricing Go fugue
@@Steveoman1964 I live in Washington state. I just ended up going inch and a half for $18 after bulk discount.
Where did you purchase the metal straps from?
Home Depot
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
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.
Is this going to take care of any condensation?
This will and already has stopped any condensation
I wish I could have done mine that way my roof joists or legs are 4ft 10in wide inside to inside. I have to cut ever section lol. Nice work though.
hello, i am looking around for a metal building, how was your experience with the building company?
Not to bad just make sure you know exactly what you want , do your research
If you put the silver side showing the metal tape will stick.
The foil tape iam using now works great 👍 thanks
I read the shiny side goes pointed inside? To act as a conductor for heater and AC ? Is this true.
The letters r upside-down lol
Should have gotten a couple other quotes 🥴 30x70x14 with closed cell is 4200
Not bad
Not where I live. I got a quote for 2” of closed cell foam for my 20x20x9 metal building and it was 5600!
not sure i'd trust someone with that low of a price. 5000 from multiple quotes for 24 x 35 x 9 here
Are you going to end up using a vapor barrier?
No i dont think so its just a barn really
