Yes. By code, the insulation should be covered with sheetrock though. While
only a utility area, you may want to consider putting up some studs and
finishing it off a bit. If nothing else, hang some peg board over the
sheetrock for your tools.

Anyone have any experience with Dow's Thermax? [Dow says it doesn't
need a thermal barrier]

Does it meet codes? Does it cost more than styrofoam & sheetrock?

Is there another similar product by another company?
