Lisa writes from Duncanville, Texas: "I want to insulate my garage from within. Can I use InsulPINK® Foam Insulation Board? And will I need a 15-minute thermal barrier? Or can I cover the foam insulation board with decorative paneling?"

Answer: All extruded polystyrene foam insulation products must be covered with a 15-minute thermal barrier. You will need to check with manufacturer of the paneling to see if that product qualifies.

You may find it to be less labor intensive if you use fiberglass batt insulation for your project. The InsulPINK insulation was not designed for the application which you are doing. InsulPINK insulation is designed to be used on masonry surfaces. It has channels that allow for furring strips to be used as nailers.
