Location: Clearwater, MN		Hello all!  Just a question before I embark on my DIY LQ....why is the R Max white insulation board used as opposed to the pink foam?  I have looked at many of the members website's that say to use that, just looking for the reason why.  Thanks!!!

I also think that the foil side of the R-Max adds some heat reflective qualities to the insulation that the pink stuff doesn't have.
Just my .02ยข

Okay, here's a related question: Why not polyiso insulation?  It has nearly double the R- value of the pink stuff.
