where do you buy your insulation?

[hellspcangel911]

Im in the process of building my shop and Ive already bought about 30 sheets of 2"x 4'x8' XPS insulation, and I'll need more than that for the radiant heated slab. I also have to order the rolls of poly covered fiberglass batts for the steel structure.
Ive shopped locally and Home Depot was the cheapest for the XPS by far, but I cant find anyone for the fiberglass rolls. I'm in CT but ive heard its cheaper to pay for the freight than buy it in state.

Any links or advice would be much appreciated.

thanks!

Are you hard set on your insulation choices? I am sure there are alternatives available.

Go to the pro desk at HD. If you are spending over 1500, they will give you a pretty good discount. Last big purchase I made was around 20-25% of list and you can add on as much other stuff as you want

I'm not hardset, but I dont think the cost and potential rust issues in the future make Spray foam a choice for me. What did you have in mind?

Thanks Mike93lx, i do that, often pair it with a 10% coupon as well but they dont sell the poly encased fiberglass rolls.

I know one person that has used them in a pinch and said it was good experience

They sell to huge and small individual customers.. Will pre cut all pieces and label to make easier at jobsite... different facings and widths.... ballpark 50 cents/ sq ft for 6" fiberglass w one of the Lamtec facings.

They have geographically local salesfolks around the country so will ask you your zip code right away.

Good people, been around... Also review Lamtec website... the least expensive option is probably fine for you... ask Bay about that.
