Anyone use 3" vinyl backed roll fiberglass in their pole barn for new construction
I'm about to pull the trigger on a 40'x60'x14.5' enclosed pole barn on a slab. All 26 GA metal w/ 3/4" rib, 2x6 wall girts 2' OC with 40' 2x4 trusses w18" overhang 3' OC and 2x4 roof purlins 2' OC . I'm in south Mississippi and want to insulate it to muffle rain noise and stop condensation dripping inside. A little cooler/warmer wouldn't hurt either but not interested in the high dollar spray foam. My builder wants to use a rolled radiant bubble with smooth vinyl inside finish. I haven't seen bubble with smooth finish online. I want to use the 3" fiberglass with vinyl backing. He said the metal will have a wavy look with the 3" FG and that's why he went to the thinner bubble stuff.
Anyone have the 3" between their purlins/girts and metal and have a problem?
Thanks
