Urethane foam (sprayed or sheet) has the highest insulation value. Around 7 / inch. XPS is around 5 / inch.

Also be careful when the garage ceiling is a fire rated ceiling that protects the house. In that case you can not cut a hole in the ceiling. Actually you can, but your insurance in case of a claim won't like it....

I ended up with a Panasonic FV-08WQ1. Not a lot of flow, but very quiet and very low power. Very happy with the quality. Thanks all.

Thanks everyone. My wife likes to park the car inside the garage. Because of our winters, that means a lot of slush and humidity gets in the garage in the winter. The garage is so well insulated/vapor barrier'ed, that humidity stays in. Similar to taking a shower and not running the bathroom...

There probably is enough leakage around the 4 garage doors. There typically is no make-up intake for range hoods or dryers either.

Oetiker irrigation clamps maybe? No special tooling required.

For anyone else trying this: Went ahead and mixed one set (2+2 Gallon) and was just able to cover the 550 sq ft. The second coat was much easier and I actually a small bit left over (unfortunately). Then two coats of the clear to cover the chips and last coat with small sand. The Rustoleum...

Found it in the online instructions (not in printed instructions in kit): "1:1 Base to Activator (by volume)"

Hello, Great forum. First post. Working on coating my garage floor. Since my garage is really full, I decided to do the floor in two halves, 555 and 507 sqft. respectively. The plan is to double-coat and then top-coat with clear. I purchased Rustoleum professional floor coating (solvent...
