Hi James. I am not sure, but I am going the Siga route per direction given directly by Rockwool and the Siga folks. The Rockwool folks also suggested CertainTeed Membrain or Pro Clima Intello. Do note I am in climate zone 5A. My interior was put on hold for at least a year, but I have...

Greetings again Mr. Conner: My builder used vented vinyl soffit the entire eave and gable! I think they need to come back and redo this based on your assessment. You are saying that my ridge vent should be 1/2 the size? Thanks in advance as always.

Thank you!

Do you suggest using spray foam or a caulk/sealant where the concrete meets the skirt board?

Thank you loganb!

Solid advice!

Thanks billconner . . . I am broadly aware of the "more is not better". The builder put 12" vented soffit on the eave and gable ends. He was aware that I would be insulating in the future. I do have scissor trusses 4' OC (4:12 pitch bottom cord) on 32' of the structure. The remaining 12' of...

hefnerconstructionlc I also thank you for such a detailed response! Most of what you stated is above my pay grade many times over! I have done basic framing and insulation in my basement, but not an entire structure. My structure (post-build) has now morphed into a hang-out/workshop area and...

prembol I totally agree with you "the content is the ad" - well put! I am doubting Siga is the route I should take. I may stick with the Rockwool R23 and with a standard 6mil vapor barrier.

Rusty Wrench thanks for the reply! I did not think of blow in cellulose . . . I will have to check out costs.

Thank you NUTTSGT! Cost comparison just for the walls pretax: Rockwool R23: $4,300 Fiberglass Batt Insulation R19: $2,900

I am sold on Rockwool as well. I bought 2x bundles and put up a test section. Easy install and super dense - like me :-)

Greetings Garage Journal Warriors!, I have been a lurker for several years and finally bit the bullet on a smaller post frame structure at 30' x 44' x 14' - the maximum size that zoning would allow. I know the insulation topic has been covered 300x's over, but I am asking the community for...
