✔ 1. Reflective Foil Insulation (Radiant Barrier)
Best for: Hot climates (reflects up to 97% radiant heat)
Cost: $0.15–$0.50 per sq.ft
Installation: Stapled to purlins (DIY-friendly)
R-Value: R-3 to R-6 (radiant heat only)
✔ 2. Fiberglass Batt Insulation
Best for: Moderate climates (thermal + soundproofing)
Cost: $0.50–$1.20 per sq.ft
Installation: Fits between wall/ceiling panels
R-Value: R-13 to R-19 (3.5"–6" thickness)
✔ 3. Blown-In Cellulose (Recycled Material)
Best for: Existing metal buildings (fills gaps)
Cost: $0.80–$1.50 per sq.ft
Installation: Requires professional equipment
R-Value: R-3.2 to R-3.8 per inch
✔ 4. Spray Foam (DIY Kits for Small Areas)
Best for: Air sealing & high R-value
Cost: $1.50–$3.00 per sq.ft (DIY kits)
Installation: Sprayed between frames
R-Value: R-6 to R-7 per inch
✔ 5. Bubble Foil Insulation (Hybrid Solution)
Best for: Moisture-prone areas (vapor barrier included)
Cost: $0.30–$0.70 per sq.ft
Installation: Self-adhesive or stapled
R-Value: R-4 to R-8 (radiant + conductive)
| Insulation Type | Cost per Sq.Ft | R-Value | DIY-Friendly? | Best Climate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reflective Foil | $0.15–$0.50 | R-3–R-6 | ✅ Yes | Hot |
| Fiberglass Batt | $0.50–$1.20 | R-13–R-19 | ✅ Yes | Moderate |
| Blown Cellulose | $0.80–$1.50 | R-3.2–R-3.8 | ❌ No | Cold |
| Spray Foam (DIY) | $1.50–$3.00 | R-6–R-7 | ⚠️ Semi | All |
| Bubble Foil | $0.30–$0.70 | R-4–R-8 | ✅ Yes | Mixed |
1️⃣ Combine Methods: Use reflective foil + fiberglass for double insulation at low cost.
2️⃣ Seal Gaps First: Apply weatherstripping & caulk to prevent air leaks.
3️⃣ Buy in Bulk: Order full-roll insulation for 30–50% discounts.
