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. |

Does it cost more than styrofoam & sheetrock? Is there another similar product by another company? Jim |
