Hi folks
I am new to this site, and although I’ve read quite a few posts and gotten good info I’ll ask anyway. I have a freestanding 2 car garage shop that I want to insulate the roof in. There is so much stuff in the garage that putting up insulation and rock will be very difficult. I have seen a product that comes on rolls that is for stapling to rafters in an attic. It looks like foil-backed bubble wrap. Would this be a good way to go? I have also seen mentioned in other posts some rigid foam products. What is this stuff? I need something that I can maneuver easily and work with by myself. The roof currently has a single passive turbine in it to vent a little hot air.
Thanks, Keith
