Hey everyone, needed some opinions and thoughts on whether spray foam is worth it. Here's the situation..
We are developing 2 RV parks, each has a metal building laundry room 12x12 in size with 8' ceilings. We had the whole interior spray foamed with closed cell and then sprayed it with paint. Then we threw in an overkill 350sq ft heat/ac window unit. Was about to spray foam the other building when we realized the first one is not staying cool. The big AC unit runs non-stop in the tx heat and can't get the temp low enough to cut it off. I really thought spray foam was better than that, maybe I am expecting to much.
We have a third old laundry room of same size that is old wood exterior and sheetrock with normal rolled insulation, same AC unit, and you can make it snow in there if you turned it down. Really considering framing the inside of the new laundry room and throwing the rolled insulation in it with sheetrock instead of dropping money on the foam. What do y'all think? Does the foam just need to be thicker or something? Or is it a waste of money compared to sheetrocking and fiberglass insulation?
