I am putting heat in the wood shop and I am insulating and putting in a ceiling.The local lumberyard is recommending a white steel panels for the roof. I like the idea but I am wondering if there will be condensation between the steel and the insulation. Anybody have any experience with this?
Thanks
 
If you're putting in a ceiling put the insulation between the ceiling joists right on top of the ceiling. Be sure to use baffles at the eaves so you get good airflow from your soffit vents up to your roof vents or better yet a ridge vent.
 
I built a heated shop and use white steel roofing for the ceiling and steel roofing on the roof. Fiberglass insulation was blown in on top of the ceiling about 20 inches thick. No condensation on the ceiling because it always stayed the same temp as the heated area below it. No condensation on the bottom of the steel roof because it always stayed the same temp as the outside air and the air in the attic was the same as the outside air. You have to have good air circulation in the attic so it stays cold as the outside air
As far as vents, MAKE SURE you put something up there so the snow and rain can't blow in and drip down on the insulation.
 
My neighbor got seconds at CHI in Arthur, IL for his shop. It works very well and he said they went up easy and the price was right. He said if a door bundle is damaged, they discard the whole bundle and not replace which ever section that was damaged.
