I had a 20X30 metal garage built back in April 2019. I had insulation installed with the build. I've had the condensation problem a lot of folks deal with but thats a minor thing. The main problem I have is an odor inside the building that I don't know what to do about.
When ever the garage is closed up for an extended period of time (more than a few hours) it gets a strong chemical smell inside. It's had the smell from day one, even before I put anything in the building. I haven't been able to figure out whats causing the smell; I thought it was the insulation but it passes the sniff test when I get up close to it. I some times think it may be the concrete slab still curing but I just can't tell for sure. Opening the roll up door airs the garage out pretty quick so over the summer it hasn't been too much of a problem. Now that winters here it's a little more irritating since I keep the doors closed.
Have any of ya'll encountered this with new construction? Any ideas on what it could be and how to get rid of the odor permanently? I'll try to put some pics of the garage and insulation in case that helps.
