Kitchens in restaurants use FRP on the walls. Which is something you might consider if you're looking to seal the room and easy to clean. Maybe put this over your insulation. Styrofoam sheets work great for that also.
4 ft. x 8 ft. White .090 FRP Wall Board
The durable Stabilit 32 sq. ft. Plastic Composite Siding Panel is made of polyester resin. This wall siding is rot-resistant and has a cracked ice surface for simple cleaning.
Thanks Smokey! I am definitely going to be using the FRP stuff on the bottom 4' of the walls. Should make a nice clean backsplash in case any water gets spilled on the wall.
Your thread sounds pretty good mani'm going to sub in for a while
Thanks bro! Just wait until we have some plants in here!
Hey surfr,
Cant give any advice on this as ive never used co2 or anything to this scale,but im here for the ride.
Best of luck with everything.
Thanks man!
Foil backed plaster board or gypsum board and rock wool or fibre glass for the cavity is a good hope this helps :)
I filled all the walls with R13-R19.
Tagging along! Can't really speak to how best to insulate or any other aspect, so I'm just gonna watch from the shadows if'n ya don't mind.
Really sorry to hear about that black widow bite, too! How fare thee now?
Nice to see you in here Sea! I don't see very many of the original faces around here anymore so it's nice to see yours! Where did everyone go?
Wow this journal looks/sounds like it's going to be the bomb. subbed for the future and good luck!
Bomb dot com baby!
Nice space ya got to work with.i will def be watching for updates.
@Smokey503ski dang man 24 bucks a sheet :o
I just doubled up on the space so now I have 3k SF to work with...
@sixstring lol. buy once cry once.
Hahaha sooo true!
Subbed to this for sure,good luck with your build. Can you take photo's when you install the insulation for us noobs to learn a little? :eyepiece:
I took some photos of the insulation. Insulation is pretty straight forward to install. Just make sure you get the right size and a good staple gun and you're set!
Looks like ya know your carpentry work as well,looking good
I've grown up in a family that is well versed in all aspects of construction from underground pipeline construction to building roads to building houses. I am lucky to have some solid help/knowledge when I am in need
One of the best tips I was given/received over the years was : installing Goodyear pool liners to floor ( makes a lab grade floor and ultra easy to clean/mop) + install the liner 1-3 feet onto the wall so the wall/drywall is never going to damaged by moisture
Only negative is weight (ship/handling )cause they make Custum sizes and so forth .
I'll definitely give the pool liners a look!
We insulate all of our walls with fiberglass insulation just like a house. If you compare r-values on different products it is hard to beat the standard. I have thought about getting those jumbo spray foam insulation sprayers but it's expensive, and sounds like a pain in the ass to deal with those tanks.
I use some stuff I think is like the frp board. I get it at home depot it is like a pvc paneling 4'x8'x1/6", it kicks ass. Cleans easy I build sloping wood floors and sheet them with that stuff and silicone the joints and it works great. I have a 2 year old floor sheeted with that stuff, no paint or sealer and wood still looks new
Epoxy floor is a must. Get the good stuff from a paint store though home depot stuff sucks.
I like to put a bunch of green lights in the rooms. About 1 per grow light. I just use the 2$ ceramic sockets and put them all on one switch. I use green led bulbs, not green painted incandescent bulbs.
What are you planning on for lighting and a/c. I love my new nanos, we are running some gavitas and they kick ass but I hate the vertical ballast, and plastic sockets
With just 100 amps I would run some super efficient mini splits
Sup Cali! I went with standard fiberglass for the insulation. I decided to not worry about spray foam just yet. I'll be using the FRP board on the bottom half of the walls to protect against any water spills. The floors will be covered with a two part white epoxy. Because I secured the spot next door as well, I now have a total of 3k SF and 200 amps to play with.
For the Lighting I'm just running some Galaxy 1k's I have laying around for the first round or two then I'll upgrade to some Gavitas or Nanos most likely. For AC I'm running 3 18k 21 seer units. They only pull 5.6 amps a piece. I figure 3 of them should be good for each flower room. The flower rooms will be bigger than this veg room. They will be 16' wide verses the 12' wide in the veg.
I love seeing new buildouts!! And good luck on choosing the top 6 out of 400!! :woot:
Haha I know there is going to be some difficult decisions ahead choosing 6 keepers out of that many beans lol. It'll be fun though!
Subbed up cant wait to see this in full swing good luck man :smoking:
Thanks Mr. Green! I can't wait until construction is done and I have plants in there! Stay tuned...
