Hey,

I have read a ton and I am still undecided.

My barn is 40 x 64 x 14. No house wrap and I live in SE Wisconsin. This barn is used as a hobby shop and will be heated in the future. I have a metal ceiling with a vapor barrier and will blow in r60.

I am leaning towards polebarn blankets for the walls.

1. Faced or unfaced?

I see some folks put a 1.5 foam board between the girts.

2. Is this a good idea?

3. If so, eps,xps, or foil faced or not?

Thanks!!

Spray closed cell foam on the walls. It will air seal the shell and insulate as well. What do you have at the bottom to keep mice out?

I put in vinyl faced batts from Bay Insulation. 6" in the walls and 8" the ceiling. At half the price of spray foam I'm pretty pleased with it.
