Here is my experience. I built a shop in 1996 and used the "bubble wrap" stuff with white plastic on one side and reflective aluminum on the other. All was fine for about 10 years and the stuff started coming down. Basically it had just turned to very brittle material and if you touched it, then it would crumble.
Well by now I had a lot of wires, plumbing, you name it up in the ceiling. Bought some 4 inch styrofoam and had had a contractor install that. Made a big difference. Couldn't go with spray foam because of the mess it will make during the install with the particles that fall during application. Would not have been able to cover everything well enough.
Meanwhile, I have a 2,500 foot uninsulated work space attached to the building. It was unbearable in the Texas heat. So, I went with the closed cell spray foam insulation there. The difference is dramatic. I measured the bare tin in mid day at 152 degrees. Right next to it where the insulation had been sprayed on it read 99 degrees--only l degree above ambient temperature.
No doubt in my mind, any future construction gets the spray foam

It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
