Insulating a steel building question

[Corbin5754]

Will this 1/4 styrofoam roll insulation insulate my steel building? It’s offered to me for free I️ just want to make sure it will be ok to cover the walls and roof with it.

No. There is a fg/foil material that's 1/4" thick that would work better. Bubble wrap will fail eventually. Best solution would be 3"/4" blanket insulation.

My plan was to use this stuff since it’s free. There’s enough here to double it or even triple the thickness, then was going to put osb over it for the side walls. Still a no?

It would be better than nothing. Not a lot better than nothing, but better.
