Insulation

[Narcosis]

New member and have a question about insulation. I'm in the process of buying a house with a 40x42 metal building and would like to insulate it. It has heaters, shown in the picture, but I'm interested in adding AC. I've read several blog posts from metal building installers stating they don't use spray foam insulation because it has caused issues with moisture getting trapped. Curious what others have successfully used for insulation in an existing metal building, especially if your framing is similar to what is shown in the photo.

Closed cell insulation acts as a vapor barrier and can be used in your building. Google a reputable spray foam contractor in your area, won't be an issue.

Good insulation pays for itself in savings, it might take years but it will happen.

Used spray foam, closed cell. Just need to get something to seal up the top of the roll up doors.
