Metal Siding

[morrillm06]

Hey guys,
Just finished framing the walls on my garage 32x40 and waiting on the prefab trusses and metal roof to show up (next week I hope). but any way, I am ordering metal roofing cut to length for siding and I don't know how to insulate? If I use fiberglass batts should there be something preventing contact to the metal siding? faced? unfaced? interior will be finished with osb. any suggestions would be great.

THanks

Most of the insulation Ive dealt with on metal structures is encapsulated.
Check the structures in your area as what works in one area is not always good in another.
If moisture condenses and soaks your batts you lose effiency among other things.
Building envelope science is becoming a booming business. I deal with it a lot anymore.
