Beginning plans to heat half of a 10'x 36'x48' shop. Wood posts with steel exterior and cement floor. Anyone have experience with FarmTek Tekfoil materials like the two sided double bubble foil for insulation? Looking for a good insulation choice for central Michigan. Also, which propane heater would be a good choice. I will be using an Atlanta wood burner when I'm in the shop and the propane when I'm not able to be there to put wood in the burner. Yes, I know poor planning without putting coils in the floor. But, things have changed, unfortunately.
Thanks in advance

I put purlins on the inside of mine spaced every 2 feet and then stacked R19 fiberglass horizontaly from floor to trusses on the walls then covered walls and ceiling with white steel and had R30 fiberglass blown on top of ceiling. Do not heat with an unvented propane or kerosene heater as you will put lots of moisture in your shop rusting up everything. I bought a Mr. Heater Big Maxx hanging power vented heater for $389.00 off e-bay Northern Tool also sells them so far it works good.
