Yes. By code, the insulation should be covered with sheetrock though. While only a utility area, you may want to consider putting up some studs and finishing it off a bit. If nothing else, hang some peg board over the sheetrock for your tools.
Anyone have any experience with Dow's Thermax? [Dow says it doesn't need a thermal barrier]
Does it meet codes? Does it cost more than styrofoam & sheetrock?
Is there another similar product by another company?
