How do I insulate my Garage?

(1/4) > >>

tyler123:
This is probably two questions - 1. How do I insulate and 2. What should I insulate.

It's an old, single car garage attached to my home (built in 1942). It has no heat/cool source as of right now, and I'd probably just use a portable heat source in the winter. I live in MN and want to use this space as a workshop/tool shop/man-cave type space. The garage is bare studs, concrete floors and has a large, open, uninsulated attic above it. I'm probably looking at just fiberglass batts and then sheetrocking that - walls, ceiling and call it a day. Any help on choosing which R-value and tips on installing would be greatly appreciated. I'll probably also pick up a garage door insulation kit - just for good measure...

I have the same issue with my garage, so I'll watch this thread closely - if you don't mind :-)
Regarding humidity, the temperature inside the garage only needs to be a few degrees higher for the moisture in the air to seek refuge elsewhere. Another important thing is keeping the temperature as consistent as possible to avoid condensation.

Ulf,

Look at where this is from, one post, under electrical and instruments and a cross reference to selling sheds.

Might just be spam!!!!

Ulf:
Think you're right - I'm so naive :-(

Thanks for moving this post, was about to suggest it when I got called into a meeting, then forgot all about it
