Looking for fire-rated material to cover kraft faced insulation in garage (not drywall)

markledbury | Posted in Energy, Heating & Insulation on

I’m looking for a fire-rated material that I can use to cover kraft-faced insulation in my garage.  I will eventually drywall the garage, I just don’t have time to do it right now.  I’ve seen a foil faced sheeting with nylon reinforcement in the past that I think will work, but I don’t know what it’s called or where I can find it.  Does anyone know of a good product I can use? 

Thanks,

Mark

    Drywall.

      Drywall is almost certainly the cheapest option.

        When it was $4 a sheet, I would have said OSB!
