I recently purchased a 30’ x 50’ metal shop. The first thing I realized was I was going to have to insulate it. After doing a lot of reading, I decided on Henry R-Tech 4x8x 2 inch insulation board. This made such a difference in the temperature in my shop. I was going to place plywood on the ceiling but I decided on going with the 4x8 1 inch Henry R- Tech for added insulation value. I will be placing plywood on the walls. The insulation was easy to put cut and install. Not at all regretting in going in this direction.

I bought this to make some foam board art projects. It’s a great price and cuts very nicely with a hot wire tool. It has a foil backing that can be easily peeled away.

Very disappointed in paint adherence
I bought this about a month ago to install in the ceiling of a church. Installed easily but it doesn’t accept paint. Dryfall acrylic paint peels right off. I called the Henry company and a representative said to leave the plastic cover (not the reflective material) on and that it would accept paint. The paint peels off in sheets after drying. Very disappointing.

    1 inch foam board
    I’m so very happy with this board! My house is over 100 years old and this stuff is so good. The board is light weight, cuts with a utility knife, and does fall apart. I hate fiberglass. Foam board did the trick!

      This installation is very easy to use. The price is right. I used the installation for my basement, walls, the delivery was very quick. And make my job easy, the insulation has A foil, which helps for the radiant heat it's very easy to work with and I will not hesitate to use it again. I used aluminum foil for tapeing the the sims and and liquid nail to atouch it to the wall.

      I have an old house with a walk-up attic in upstate New York. It was insulated with 7" inches of cellulose insulation under the floor (~ R20) but was still experience big ice dams in the winter. I covered the floor with four layers of these 2" Foam boards, giving me about an R52 insulation value. I used about 120 panels. No more ice dams and the house is much more comfortable!! The panels can be walked on so we still store a few items on top of then. Also, the panels could easily be removed if someone ever wanted to make the attic living space in the future.

      Though a little messy to cut, it is easy to handle.

      1.5" is perfect for garage door
      The 1.5" thick is perfect for insulating a garage door and it is very inexpensive. It makes a huge difference blocking the radiating heat that is from the inside of the metal garage door. On a sunny day that was only 73 degrees out in Orlando, FL, the sun was on my garage and measured over 130 degrees Fahrenheit. With the insulation it was in the 80s range after a few hours of direct sunlight so its a huge difference. In the summer my garage was getting blistering hot so this was very much needed. I highly recommend to everyone to insulate your garage. Also, this did take me a long time to measure, cut, and partially take some bolts out of the do so it will slide in correct. And it does not bend much so you dont have much room for tolerance in the vertical aspect (horizontally it slides behind the brackets). Its definitely a lot of work but can be accomplished with a simple tape measure, marker, and one of those long retractable utility blades.
