I am going to insulate my shop ceiling and walls.
Below is a picture of the space before we bought the house.
I don't want to use drywall on the ceiling for a number of reasons. Weight, difficulty (one man project) as well as ease of installation. The space is full of tools now. I plan to have some things hanging from the ceiling like my air scrubber, shop lights, and storage.
I can leave unfaced insulation in the ceiling and meet code.
I want to cover it with something to keep the insulation in place and not have fibers falling on me. I think that I need something that will breath so I am thinking about tyvek.
the soffit is covered with perforated panels and there is a ridge vent on 50 percent of the roof peak.
What do you think about the proposed ceiling insulation?
Thanks
I am covering the walls with faced insulation and drywall.
