My new 36' x 24' metak building will be going up soon and I am still undecided on insulation. Half of my neighbors buildings are insulated and half are not. Mine will have no heating or cooling and will be used only for storage. My current options, based on cost are:
1. Insulate ceiling only with bubble cell membrane
2. Do #1 above plus self install the Home Depot 8' foam sheets on the walls.
3. Go uninsulated.
I am in East Texas near Tyler so the temps and humidity are not extreme. Also, my attached garage only gets condensation when the slab cools way down during a cold winter day which is immediately followed by a 30 degree temp rise; when the garage door is opened and the warm air comes in the floor sweats. Other than that, condensation is not much of an issue and the new storage building will remain closed 90% of the time and 99% in winter.
Your thoughts?
