We've got 11' high ceiling inside. Want to put a ceiling on the bottom of trusses and insulate above. We're already insulated the outer walls with six-inch fiberglass, and building a 2x4 stud wall inside of that (12" of wall cavity total). Stud wall goes to bottom of trusses.
What's your two cents regarding:
--sheet metal vs. drywall?
I like simplicity of metal but maybe more expensive and noisy. Drywall is complicated but adds bit of thermal/moisture resistance.
FYI: the slab is 4" thick with vapor barrier but is not insulated underneath.
--loose fill/blow-in insulation or unfaced fiberglass batts?
--how to seal at ends where trusses & wall meet? --need airflow to keep the metal roof temperature even. But don't want cold corners of the room inside where wall and ceiling meet....
--plastic moisture barrier under insulation/on top of ceiling material.....or not?
Go!
