hi friends,
i am wondering if anyone out there bike space builders or otherwise have heard of or used any creative alternatives to sheetrock on the ceilings of industrial, loft, or community bike spaces. we want to insulate to R60 if possible.
we have one example of what appears to be foil-backed attic batting stapled to the joists to create an insulated, reflective, and easy/inexpensive solution, but dont have any details or specs on the materials. we are dealing with a 15 foot ceiling that is currently uninsulated tin, and is in bad shape.
thanks for reading and shoot me an email if you have any ideas!
this for a future-phase of renovation at the new Troy Bike Rescue space in Troy, NY, but we need to figure out the cost now.
heres some pics of the space in action
