We have a 24x32 wood framed building, wrapped with metal on the exterior…We used underlayment on the roof and Tyvek on walls, prior to metal installation…Is it okay to use regular, batt insulation on the walls? I plan on finishing the inside at some point, just not sure of the materials/and look...

Great info man…thanks for the input!

No storage/attic…just want to insulate and hide the trusses…yea, the plywood would be applied to the bottom of trusses

Yeah, you might be right…I guess I just like the “look” of the cans and not the traditional shop lights…but, it is a working storage buikding, not so much a “man cave”…thx

Just finished my 24x32, stick built storage building…on the outside I ran 2x4 girts every 2 feet and used those to wrap with metal…my interior studs are 16” OC and I’ve almost finished my electrical with the exception of lighting…thinking about 8-12 6” recessed cans 🤔 then I plan on insulating...

Yeah, probably so man…I wish I’d have given that a little more thought earlier on

Thanks, I’ll look into the Tyvek…you think 30 wt felt paper would suffice…just trying to save cost at this point…I wish I’d have just used plywood on the exterior instead of girts…it would’ve been a bit more costly but would’ve looked much better until I wall up the inside

Yeah, I have the girts..my question is, what do I put between them and the metal, if anything…I want to eventually insulate the inside…I’m thinking 30 wt felt paper, although it’ll look horrible on the inside until I wall it up…but that might be years from now

Just finished up a 32x32 stick built building, with 2x4 16” OC…I went with 5/8” plywood for the roof and wrapped with a synthetic underlayment…My metal installer is coming next week but I feel like I need to put SOMETHING in between the metal and the 2x4 “stripping” that runs horizontally, every...
