I have an old weekend cabin I am redoing. I am currently putting on the metal roof. I am thinking I want to insulate and then finish in the inside. What is the most economical and easiest insulation I can use. I am thinking if I use regular pink insulation it will absorb moisture and spray on may be costly. What are the other alternitives and your suggestion. Thanks, Joey	joey nichols 2/22/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12805/find/
there are factors to consider first- is there an attic? ventilation climate and more blown in or dense packed cellulose is a good product if installed properly fiberglass is not a product i would recommend in ANY circumstance do some research on line and you will find the answers!

No attic. It is 2 by's with metal attached and then want to finish ceiling underneath.I was thinking something like reflectix foil insulation tacked between ceiling and roof.Would this work?	Guest User 2/22/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12807/find/
You really need a complete vapor barrier beneath the insulation and I would also suggest ventilation between the metal and the insulation.	Todd Miller Isaiah Industries, Inc. 3/1/2009	Share Or copy this URL: https://www.metalroofing.com/spirit/comment/12808/find/
