Episode Synopsis

In Episode 32 of Building With Metal, I explore the pros and cons of various metal roof insulation options. Metal roofs are durable and eco-friendly, but proper insulation is crucial to prevent heat transfer, reduce noise, and manage moisture. I discuss three popular insulation types: fiberglass bats, rigid foam boards, and spray foam. Fiberglass bats are budget-friendly but may struggle with moisture control. Rigid foam boards offer excellent R-values and soundproofing but require careful moisture management. Spray foam excels in hard-to-reach areas and renovations, though it comes at a higher cost. Each option has its strengths, and the best choice depends on your project's needs and budget. Tune in to learn more about optimizing your metal roof insulation strategy.
