What ever you do make sure you DO NOT short your self on this. The energy saving will help out and peace of mind that it can hold the temp you want.
I agree 100% with this stuff. Its what i have been using in the Squam Brewery's fermenting room (we have to heat year round) and once its taped up it looks good

I put up FRP white institutional board for the inside. Its tough stuff but makes a great washable fire resistant, bright wall covering. Used in restaurants where cleaning is very important. Home depot sells it for $32 per 4 X 8 sheet.

Good luck on your project

How are you attaching the FRP white institutional board? At what temp do you keep your cold room? I was thinking 48-50f, that's a good conditioning temp. I could also ferment lagers, and ales (with some insulation) and I want grain storage. It seems like that reflective insulation would be overkill?

I used 2 in ss ribbed type nails. They are used for putting up wool siding. This FRP is very flexable stuff and usualy it is glued to a plywood wall. As it needs something behind it I used rough-cut 2 X 4 and put 2in insulation between them. This added the strength to stabilize it and gave me some insulation. By the way my brew space in underground so my walls are always cold.

We try to ferment at a constant 65-70 F for everything. We select yeast for that environment.
You probably have 4 in walls and I would guess that for your cold room 4 in of pink insulation would be good. Then add the silver sided insulation and your done. I used the 2 in sutff. You will need some kind of covering over your pink insulation so why not use this stuff. It does not look bad and you can clean it easily

This is the stuff and you need the special tape. You can see that i used fender washers and 3 in screws to attach it.

As for grain storage we use 55 gallon plastic barrels with a lid to keep the small critters out.

Thanks for the info. Actually my building is post framed with 6x6's. With the nailers (horizontal studs) inside and out, I can have it netted and cellulose blown in a full 8" thick. So R-value won't be a problem.

Made a little progress today, the lumber was delivered at 10:00am.
I was able to strip some siding, and put the treated skirt board on. I'm a ways out of grade so i'll have to buy some gravel. With some boards on, it looks like it will be plenty big enough, which i'm glad of. I hope to have it ready for the roof by weeks end.

Must be nice to live where you don't need permits for this sorta thing. Looks good.
