We will be constructing a 60 x 160 x 18 Nucor steel building with radiant floor heat. We are not sure what is the best way to go on the insulation? spray foam is appealing however we have heard there is issues with the steel beams transferring cold into the building therefore causing condensation. we know of 1 project where sticky back tape insulation was used on the steel beams in a attempt to stop the transfer of cold location is NE Indiana thanks in advance

Nucor frame can be clad with SIPs and the SIPs can also be the finished skin, SIPs also will span further and you have the option to eliminate wall girts and roof purlins.
This is the way cold storage facilities construct their buildings and they already have connection methods to eliminate or minimize thermal transfer.
The Nucor Rep familiar with this is: Ray Jackson (954) 439-8135

Chris, what would be the estimated cost to line the interior of a the 60 X 160 x18 building

searlest:
probably $5.50 sq. ft plus freight
the pictures show a project that used 3" liner panels 32 ft high
