Has anyone here ever had the spray in insulation put in their barn or shop? Which brand, how much, and do you like it?

I used 1.5" rigid between nailers and another 1.5 rigid held up by .5" OSB screwed through the insulation to the nailers.

Hey, Richard.... I saw that done on 'This old House'. But in a house you have 2x4 or 2x6 (wood) studs about every 16", so the installer can gage the amount to put in each cavity. Then someone follows along with a large scraper and removes all the excess foam flush with the edges of the studs. In a steel building there can be 12'- 20' bays, so I think it would be very difficult to apply an even thickness of the foam without some sort of depth guide. But if you are going to have finished interior walls, you would need studs anyway, so that may solve the problem. Is foam used in a house with steel studs? Does it even stick to steel? I hope I'm wrong, as I would like to use something like that in a steel building I'll be erecting soon.

There are several brands on the internet that claim their foam is self supporting and it has an R value of 7 per inch, flame retardant, and has excellent accoustic deadening. I've seen it so far from $0.65 per square foot to $1.25 per sq. foot. It is sprayed on anywhere from 3 to 6" thick, flush with the purlins, is rigid and can be painted. It's probably a rough texture since it can be leveled. In north Texas, our company buildings were sprayed with 4" of self adhering wool fibres?? Looks like blow in insulation but it sticks to the walls and gets semihard. Stuff worked great although I think it was flamable.

Had my roof done a couple of years ago with a polyurethane product sprayed on. -- I think he put on 3 inches. I don't remember the exact name of the product. Did the walls myself with 6" fiberglass pads covered with OSB. Very satisfied. Building is easy to heat in the winter and is cooler in the summer. Roof is not very smooth, the person doing it had not done very many, but the stuff works. Building is also quiet.
