It costs something like $7-12 per 4' x 8' sheet depending on the thickness.  As mentioned, really awesome at reflecting the light back into the grow area.

Holly molly dude!! what's that? drywall with foil?




it's what my first grow hut was made of.  It's 1" styrofoam insulation board with a foil interior face.




Yep. Although the room in the pic is 1/2" polyisocyanurate foam board. You can find it in any LowesDepot etc. It comes in 4'x8' sheets, and is more expensive that the expanded polystyrene, which typically comes in 1" thickness. All seams are caulked with silicone and taped with HVAC foil tape.

But why you chose that instead of normal polystyrene, just because it comes in 1/2" ? Or what's the real difference ?

I think it has a different R value as far as the insulating properties are concerned.

A guy is telling me i can use durock, this material https://www.google.com.mx/search?q=durock&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=eRDYU6S2BcnaPNHLgIAP&sqi=2&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=960&bih=478

He say is for outdoors, that i won't have to worry about humidity. And is less expensive than styrofoam.

What do you think guys?
