INSULATING YOUR ROOM
Now that you have your cooler built and the door installed you are ready for insulation. Even though the
pictures in this guide may reflect otherwise, you should insulate your cooler in the following order:
Floor-> Ceiling -> Walls
DO NOT USE FIBERGLASS INSULATION!
We recommend that the floor, walls and ceiling of the cooler have two layers of 2" Foam Insulation
(total added of 4” inches). We used R-Max Thermasheath-3 but there are other alternatives. This is one
of the best insulations available. This is a double foiled polyisocyanurate rigid foam insulation that when
two 2" layers and a 3-1/2" air space are combined yields a system R-factor great than R-30 for your
finished wall!
IMPRTANT NOTE!! If your insulation does not have paper backing (or foil backing), make sure the
adhesive you choose is SAFE to use on foam board.
THRIFTY TIP
Do not skimp on insulations. The quality, thickness, and tightness of your insulations will impact your
electricity bill. Spending a few extra dollars on quality insulation to achieve a higher R-value will help
reduce your electricity bills for years to come.
PRO TIP
Cut each piece of Insulation ~1/4" smaller than the measured dimension to take into account any out-
of-square construction of the cooler and out-of-square cutting of the insulation. Then dry fit each
sheet of insulation prior to applying the liquid nails and trim if necessary.
