| Posted in General Discussion on
Hi everyone,
I’m in the midst of renovating my garage and need some advice on selecting the right insulation. Here’s the situation:
Project Details:
- Project Type: Garage Renovation
- Location: Seattle, WA
- Part of the Home: Garage and Workshop
- Issue Description: I’m aiming to insulate the garage to make it more comfortable year-round and potentially use it as a workspace. I’m considering options like spray foam versus cellulose insulation but am unsure which would be more effective.
Additional Information:
- Current Insulation: None
- Home Age: 22 years old
- Climate: Mild winters and moderate summers
- Budget: $1,500 – $2,500
Questions:
- Effectiveness: How does spray foam compare to cellulose in terms of insulation value and energy efficiency?
- Installation: Which insulation type is easier to install in a DIY setting, and do they require special tools or skills?
- Cost: Can anyone provide a breakdown of the cost differences between spray foam and cellulose, and if spray foam is worth the extra expense?
- Additional Considerations: Are there any issues with moisture control or long-term maintenance that I should be aware of with either option?
Any insights or experiences with these insulation types would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your help!
