Started insulating the shed / workshop with rigid insulation and Great Stuff Foam. Pretty easy cutting foam board and spray foaming around the edge. Insulation works great in my small makers space. I shot the video with an iPhone 8 plus and edited with iMovie.

Interesting..... foam insulating with expanding foam in the seams. I like it! Should be good for sound proofing too. Good luck, brother!

@TheBeardedGiant 6 лет назад

One benefit is being air tight. Thanks TBW

Quik question I have not even the slightest clue when it comes to this stuff but I am in the process of making a small shed inside my garage to store some items but I want to insulate it . The garage is not insulated and I live in SoCal so you can imagine the heat in it. I saw some precut foam kits at Home Depot so I bought one just to see how they would fit in the existing open wall and they are very snug should I cut them all to leave a quarter on each side to fill in with spray foam or not ?

@elpollo8950 5 лет назад

Also will the foam insulation be enough to keep that storage shed cool even if the rest of the garage is not . I leave the side door open at al times and the garage door also opened a few inches preety much al year round just to keep airflow going thru it

@victorcrowley3653 5 лет назад

Liquid nails makes a special glue for gluing styrofoam. The regular stuff you used eats away at the styrofoam and eventually the styrofoam breaks away from the wall. But maybe the great stuff will help keep it in their.

@Tracer9GTRider8 3 года назад

Thank you. I came here specifically to see if he used liquid nails because I want to insulate my shed with styrofoam and I had thought liquid nails would work. So it's good to know that there's a special glue for styrofoam. Also, I hadn't thought initially about leaving gaps and filling it in with expansion foam I was going to try to cut all the pieces to size and snug them in but this looks like it might work better.

@singinbaldy 6 лет назад

That's cool. I can't believe you put the insulation in upsidedown!! ;-)

@TheBeardedGiant 6 лет назад

They say it confuses the heat and cold draft by putting some panels in upside down. it's like a multipronged attack. very scientific...

@cjg8703 4 года назад

Hahahaha !

@TheOpenAirGarage 6 лет назад

I need to do this for my shop also. Looks like it is not to bad of a job. . The foam gun looks like a keeper.

@TheBeardedGiant 6 лет назад

I like idea of making airtight bays with this method

@ToolsWithAdrius 6 лет назад

You can leave the can of foam connected to the gun as long as you don't let it sit for more than 30 days. Running cleaner through the gun after every use is going to wreck the seals inside of the gun in no time.

@TheBeardedGiant 6 лет назад

Thanks for the heads up.

@ToolsWithAdrius 6 лет назад

When the foam is getting close to 30 days on the gun, you can just spray a bunch of foam out to get things moving again (after shaking the can and gun for 1 minute), that resets the time for another 30 days.

@niall962 5 лет назад

are you not supposed to leave a small gap between the insulation and the wall of the shed to stop sweating. After a while you get moister build up and this will over time rot the timber of the shed.

@niall962 3 года назад

@J J Are you trying to say that you don't even treat the timber on the exterior of the shed as it is going to rot any way. You need to go back to night class mate as 5 people who liked my comment seem to agree with me.....

@davidkay4174 3 года назад

You may not know , in hotels they use felt backing under carpets because some people have nerve problems with foam

I didn't know they had a gun like that. Will have to get one next time I use that stuff.

@TheBeardedGiant 6 лет назад

Steve Carmichael I am sitting in my shed now working on insulation. The gun is nice, you can control the application rate and really easy to clean up

@davidyoung8521 11 месяцев назад

Make sure you use foam compatible adhesives. Some adhesives will eat the foam

@WVgrl59 Год назад

Just curious, is there a reason you just don't talk along the insulation? Also, did you choose the foam board over fiber fiberglass insulation due to ease of installation?

@RossPotts 5 лет назад

Out of curiosity, why didn't you just cut the foam boards more to size? Were you just trying to use up the spray foam?

@TheBeardedGiant 5 лет назад

For a shed, that would have been just fine. I was experimenting and trying to get an air tight seal, the expanding foam provided that.

@RossPotts 5 лет назад

Hi there. If you're still reading replies, did you do the ceiling as well? Thanks.

Yes, I did the ceiling as well. It stays warm and keeps the noise I make from annoying the neighbors

@jaydude70 3 года назад

Do you need to secure with liquid nails or will spray insulation hold it in place by itself?

@JohnSmith-ef6rg 3 года назад

Awesome! What is that tool with the clamps you use to make sure you are cutting a straight line?

@TheHeavyend81 3 года назад

...and how many tubes of the spray foam did you use ?

@TheBeardedGiant 3 года назад

21 but would have been in the teens if I didn’t fill some areas with only spray foam. Also would have used less if I cut the foam board closer to the actual size. All and all I am very happy with how well it is insulated and sealed.

@TheBeardx16 6 лет назад

not long now ,have you sorted your lighting out ,i bought a load of the outdoor whitelight led's for filming purposes and they work really well

@TheBeardedGiant 6 лет назад

I hope to have regular power in two or three weeks. I have some LED tube lighting and I have some bulb fixtures. I will give the daylight or outdoor LED's a go. I still have time to work on placement and that will change a few times I think as I settle in.

@TheBeardx16 6 лет назад

yep just need to figure out where to put your work benches and where you will need the better light for filming

@gregdoran2589 3 года назад

hi 2yrs later, would you have done anything different?

@TheBeardedGiant 3 года назад

I am very happy with the performance. Was a bit on the slow side to install and a bit pricey. But for a small shed it was acceptable...

@dubbz425 5 лет назад

I want to make my shed stay cool as possible and dry. Will that styrofoam and foam spray be able to keep hot or warm air out of my shed during the Summer?

@TheBeardedGiant 5 лет назад

The insulation provides a thermal break. It makes it difficult for the transfer of heat both directions. So, if the shed is already cool it will slow the exchange of heat. Short answer it will help maintain the current temperature of the shed for the shed.

@bullswoodworks8398 3 года назад

been a while now, so....how well did this insulation work?

@TheBeardedGiant 3 года назад

Works great, sealed against drafts, stays warm in winter and cool in summer. Qualifier it is fairly mild in Oregon...

@kwatman7999 5 лет назад

i recently began insulating a shed to turn into a workshop. THe weather turned warm and i found the inside of the shed to be dripping wet with condensation, including the insulation. I have it opened now to air out. My question is.. Should all this insulation be alright or will it need to be replaced? Im thinking that the sooner i put a space heater in the workshop to regulate the temperature, the less moisture that will build up. anyways, thanks for any help!

@TheBeardedGiant 5 лет назад

If you can get good air flow and get the insulation dried out before mold sets in you should be fine. Maybe put a fan in or open a window to get cross breeze

@kwatman7999 5 лет назад

@PatriotOne1 5 лет назад

Can you share an update on your experience with foam and rigid insulation? Thank you.

@TheBeardedGiant 5 лет назад

The insulation works really well. I did get a little loose with my tolerance and cut a couple of panels about a half inch narrower. That extra quarter inch on each side take a fair amount of foam to fill. I suggest keeping your gap to about a quarter of an inch each side. Half inch each side is awfully wide to fill. The foam gun is amazing. A real labor saver, being able to adjust the flow rate is really cuts down on the waste.

@calebphelps1836 10 месяцев назад

Can you use this in a crawl space?

@jims.martin6781 4 года назад

Why not just fiberglass? It would have been cheaper, better insulation, and faster I'd think?

@TheBeardedGiant 4 года назад

Fiberglass batting would have been quicker and likely less expenditure, but I wanted to try something different. I was wondering if I could get the air tight quality of spray foam without renting spray foam equipment. I think I achieved the same by adding time. Sometimes, I do off the wall stuff by stuffing foam in the wall... Thanks for watching...

@ryy597 4 года назад

how much would it cost to do an entire shed?

@TheBeardedGiant 4 года назад

It was roughly $800 to insulate 200 sq ft with 9' ceilings. It can be done for less money if you go with fiberglass rolls or bats. I have air tight and worked around some unique dimensions with how I framed it...

@ryy597 4 года назад

@@TheBeardedGiant thanks for your reply! i thought foam panels were cheaper than fiberglass? i have a 10×16 shed. wondering what will the cost be?

@ryy597 4 года назад

@@TheBeardedGiant it goes down to -30 celcius in the winter. i have 160 square feet. i was hoping it would've costed less

@TheBeardedGiant 4 года назад

an option could be use the expanding foam around the bottom and tops of the framing to stop any air leaks and then use fiberglass for the voids. stopping any air flow/drafts will go a long way to keeping it warm

@TheBeardedGiant 4 года назад

do you have access to a thermal camera or a laser thermometer. you might be able to crank the heat up inside and then look for the major drafts then seal those.
