Hi all,
I am going to be insulating the roof of my old fleet with rigid insulation. I have a question for anyone that has done this before.
This picture shows the bare roof:
So in the roof the five aluminum bars in the middle are 1.5 inch deep, while the perimeter tubing is only 1 inch deep. My understanding is this is to give the roof a bow so water runs of the roof.
My question is, what have others done when insulating the roof with rigid foam insulation. If I I want to add as much insulation as possible did you run 1.5 inch board in the center areas, and 1 inch in the perimeter channels. How did that work out for you? I was also thinking I could just run 1 in deep all the way around, and then add reflectix in the spots that can accommodate.
Please share your success or failures if you have done this before. Or please share your ideas regardless if you have tackled this in the past.
Many thanks. Tim
