How to Insulate a Garage with OSB

[@pleasantvalleyequestriance8899]

it's advisable to raise the osb/drywall off of the concrete floor about a half inch or so to keep it from absorbing moisture

Good video. I recently insulated my workshop out back with that same brand of insulation and I attached OSB over it. The difference for me is that my stud finder still finds the studs. It's the type that is about 8" long and it has about a dozen red LEDs along the top. You slide it along the wall and the LEDs light up where the stud is. We've had it for a while. I think we bought it at Sam's Club. But it still finds the studs for us. We have 7/16" OSB.

I've seen a lot of arguments that a vapor barrier in a garbage is a bad idea.

It is relevant to state which climate zone you are in especially with the use of a vapor barrier on the inside.

[@TheHandyNeighbor]

Alberta, Canada. -30 C winter, + 30 C summer. Please like and subscribe!

[@mondavou9408]

I was thinking the same thing. That would be a disaster in my climate!

[@whosnext2005]

​@@mondavou9408 what climate are you in that this would be a disaster?

[@johnnychaos3]

why use insulation with a vapor barrier opposed to foam board with insulation over it and no vapor barrier?

[@StormLaker]

Okay, so I'm using kraft backed insulation- should do the same as the plastic barrier, yes???

[@Dr.Yalex.]

10:55 why put the painted side against the ceiling? Would it not be easier to put the turquoise side outward? I don’t mind if my garage was all turquoise😂😂 I guess nowadays they have all different colors already applied to the panels ❤❤❤ thank you very much for the tutorial❤❤❤

[@TheHandyNeighbor]

I did not like green 😀

[@Dr.Yalex.]

@@TheHandyNeighbor 🤔 isn’t turquoise a blue color? ❤️ IMHO and FYI - the “green” side is already prepared to be painted white or any other color, the other side is raw and absorbs/eats paint

[@Noypi54494]

Can I ask how to finish OSB? I just purchased a new home with a detached garage that has insulated OSB and it looks very unfinshed with just OSB boards. Can OSB be painted or dry walled?

[@TheHandyNeighbor]

Yes you cover it with drywall no problem, or you can paint OSB as well with the interior paint. Thanks! Please like and subscribe!

[@davidstanleyolson]

Thanks! Did you make an access hatch?

[@TheHandyNeighbor]

Yes. There was an opening framed in between the ceiling joists, so I just had to cut the osb around the opening and make cover for inside.

[@legend1849]

Is the garage attached or detached?

[@TheHandyNeighbor]

Detached.

Do you still need to use poly if you’re using drywall on the ceiling instead of plywood?

[@TheHandyNeighbor]

I would still yes, for the vapour barrier yes. It is a 1 hour job extra and poly is not expensive. Especially if garage is heated. Good luck. Please like and subscribe! Thanks

[@troybower9419]

Why use OSB instead of drywall? And why put drywall over the top of OSB

[@TheHandyNeighbor]

I used OSB because it us better insulator thank drywall only. As well no mudding, tapping and painting and I can make screw holes with no patching after and I need no drywall anchors to hang anything. If you want to make is super insulated you can add osb and drywall over but i have not seen anyone doing that yet, just saying it is possible. Please like and subscribe!

[@williameger3229]

I put OSB and then did 5/8 drywall over top. I want to be able to screw shelves or cabinets wherever I want. I also do the drywall so I can have a really nice finish. My garage is my Man Cave. I feel it just an extension of the house.

[@catholic3dod790]

How do you paint white on the wood panels?😅 Subscribe

[@TheHandyNeighbor]

Why would you paint it? It looks great the way it is! You put drywall over it or instead of it if you don’t like the look of wood. And if you really want to paint the OSB/plywood you can do that as well, you just have to prime it firat with the primer.
