2009年5月1日 · Which Rigid Insulation Should I Choose? Get the details right when installing foam, mineral wool, or other rigid insulation types, and a small increase in wall thickness can make a big difference in energy efficiency.

2024年12月23日 · The house is 70 F, the bare floor is 60 F and basement is 55 F (near the ceiling). I just ordered enough R-19 from Home Depot to do the basement ceiling. This is what I ordered - R-19 EcoBatt Kraft Faced Fiberglass Insulation Batt 15 in. x 94 in. x 6-1/4 in. (12-Bags). I was shopping for unfaced insulation but stumbled across this.

2009年1月3日 · Hi, Forgive my ignorance, but I am lost on if I should install faced or unfaced insulation in my attic. I have read different opinions all over the internet. I live in Southeastern Pennsylvania and my house is about 30 years old. Currently, there is R19 unfaced insulation up there. I want to insulate the attic and then put floorboards up there for storage. Could someone …

2009年9月28日 · Question is, do I use faced insulation, or do I used unfaced and then put up a sheet of plastic as the vapor barrier. I would think unfaced would be easier (no need to attach each bat twice) plus it would provide one continuous vapor barrier, and cover even the little spots we shove insulation. But most posts/examples I see show faced insulation.

2016年2月22日 · I think that the insulation in the ceiling should be kraft-faced to the cool side. The soffits will have vent panels installed and I’m going to put a reflective product in between the roof rafters to help control heat.

2022年1月27日 · Been getting quotes for insulation in our vented crawlspace (16″ on center). Some vendors are recommending R19 faced (with vapor barrier on the underside, facing the ground) and some recommending R19 unfaced.

2020年3月22日 · Should I be using faced or unfaced batt insulation? Everything I’ve been able to find seems to indicate unfaced insulation (in the walls, anyway – not sure about ceiling), yet all the big-box stores and lumber companies in my small town sell only faced fiberglass batts. The house is well sealed on the outside.

2020年11月17日 · The rafters are 7.5″ deep and 23″ wide. I intend to keep the system unventilated; apply 3 inches of closed cell spray foam as a moisture barrier to the underside of the roof deck; with fiberglass batting below before drywalling. And so my question is, should I use faced or unfaced fiberglass insulation above the drywall?

2017年9月1日 · All this being said, it sounds like paper faced is the right solution for the attic floor insulation, correct? Re-reading your post, i'm wondering if you were referring to insulating the roof rafters, vs insulating the attic floor/breezeway ceiling (I'm doing the latter)

2016年9月2日 · We are zone 4 and are insulating two areas: a cathedral ceiling in a bedroom (3″ of closed cell, then either re-use R30 faced batts or use new R19 batts to fill the remaining 6.5″); the insulation will be covered with drywall and painted with latex paint.
