The one outside wall in my garage is aluminum siding on the outside, the inside wall has the the black board(not sure name) %26amp; the 2X4 studs without insulation. I am wandering if I can use the pink styrofoam insulation to insulate this wall by cutting %26amp; gluing it between the studs or do I have to use the pink fibreglass insulation?
Is pink the pink styroam insulation ok for my garage?
I would go with the rigid foam insulation. You'll get an R value of 7 or so which will help. No sense in going all out trying to insulate a garage since there is so much air infiltration.
Just keep in mind that if you do use kraft-faced insulation, you will need to cover it with gypsum board. Especially in a garage (think fire hazard).
Reply:Can you use it? Sure, but it won't give the same amount of r-value the fiberglass insulation provides. You'll have a better insulated garage with the fiberglass and be happier with the results.
Reply:Yes. However the insulating value or R factor is not as high. The higher the R factor the more money you save on heating and cooling.
