[QUOTE="TacomaJD, post: 685494, member: 1780"] Company I work for has made two big additions on to our main plant, both of which have been there much longer than the 12 years I've worked there. One climate controlled, and one non climate controlled. Both additions used the vinyl backed insulation and it still looks good. Now there are no liner panels in some areas and workers have tore it all to ****, but the higher areas unreached by humans all still looks perfectly fine. Get 8' liner panels on all walls and you should be good for a long time. I've also heard of people using chicken wire laid down first, then lay the insulation, then screw the metal siding on. This keeps the vinyl from drooping/falling over time. Also, not sure how to find out, but there are probably different brands made better than the others? Could explain why some may last longer than others. All my buddies that have built red iron shops have used the vinyl backed insulation. The stuff is pretty durable, I'd say MUCH more durable than the bubble pack type insulation some cheapo builders offer. The body shop my dad works at has the spray insulation. No doubt it works good, just looks ugly as **** to me if the walls are gonna be left exposed, plus I understand the cost difference between that and vinyl backed inaulation is quite steep. If I was building a shop tomorrow, it would have vinyl backed insulation in it. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
