Question: Can I paint over foam insulation?
John writes from Lake Harmony, Pennsylvania: "I AM INSTALLING YOUR PINK RIGID FOAM INSULATION IN MY BASEMENT - CAN YOU PAINT OVER THIS, IF SO WHAT TYPE OF PAINT IS REQUIRED OR RECOMMENDED?"
Answer: Sorry, John, but building codes generally require covering foam insulation with a 15 minute thermal barrier for fire safety. If you use drywall for that, you can paint the drywall. I prefer PINK but you can use any color you want.
