It will help you to eliminate problems that may come when the house becomes extremely cold in the winter and terribly hot in the summer.

This is different from the normal roll up type of insulation as it comes in panels rather than paper covered fiberglass. Rigid foam boards come in different material compositions varying thicknesses and different insulating r value properties. It can really annoying. Seal the seams between the sheets of insulation with duct tape to further protect against moisture.

The duct tape will also help prevent air leaks and maximise the insulating ability of the roof. Use rigid foam insulation to cover wider spans of roof sheathing between joists. This foam can be used on either the outside or the inside of the sheathing. Insulating with spray foam insulation.

Cut each sheet to the desired size using a utility knife then fasten it in place using staples or adhesive. Insulating a metal shed roof with rigid foam can be done one of three ways by laying the board prior to applying the roof by removing the existing roof and installing new foam board or by insulating the existing metal roof from the inside.
