Can I install drywall directly over TVM Reflective Insulation (and other questions)?
• Yes you can. No, it won’t affect anything if you compress the bubbles. Puncturing the bubbles won’t be a problem either. Yes, it’s stable enough to support the drywall without causing waves. You’re right, it WILL be a little harder to install if you can’t feel the studs. So just feel around to find them, measure the distance between them, and mark the lines on the drywall. Yes, we have been asked this question more than a few times. It is also possible to install TVM Reflective Insulation over studs, but wrap it around the studs so there is a small air gap between the TVM Reflective Insulation and the drywall.
