I need to insulate the ceiling in my barn, 18'x30', and am thinking of using 2" rigid insulation board or otherwise called polystyrene. One side has a reflective foil on it and the other has some kin

I believe the expectation is the insulation will be covered with a fire-proof material ("drywall"). I doubt there is an effective paint you could apply. Eric Russell Mebane, NC ______________________

Why not just put the reflective side facing down, and leave it be? That's what my father-in-law and I did ( two garages ). Looks fine for a garage ceiling, and even helps with lighting a little. Thro

David you might be on to something, that sure would lessen the amount of prep work I would have to do. Eric you're are right about it being flammable and should be covered up with something non-flamm

I think which way the foil is facing depends on what you are trying to do ... keep heat in or keep heat out. Based on the information here ... http://www.rimainternational.org/index.php/myths/ ... fo

In theory, that's probably true. In my non-scientific experience with two garages, they are both substantially cooler in summer and warmer in winter than they were with uninsulated ceilings. Neither

The information was specifically related to maximizing the effectiveness of the radiant barrier, not the pro's and con's of insulation in general. My non-scientific experience agrees with yours. The
