So why did this guy in the video have the paper side down towards the floor and the fluffy side up.
Attic insulation paper side up.
Can i put the peper face against the outside wall and the second piece put fiberglass sides together so the paper face of the inside paper is against the sheet rock.
The video above shows that the fluffy side of the insulation is facing up.
He said since it was low i could roll out r 30 on it which i did.
Is this going to cause condensation in the winter and rot the insulation under the paper water vapor and therefore the wood.
When the recommendation is to put the fluffy side down with the paper part facing the ceiling.
The warmer air on one outer side of the wall causes water to build up along the colder inner side.
Air migrates from warmer spaces toward colder spaces and insulation is designed to help prevent or at least slow that migration.
The right barrier will block the moisture from reaching the insulation.
Can you double up paper back insulation to fill deeper space by using 2 by 6 board studes as framing.
The moisture will get the insulation wet and reduce its effectiveness.
Some of the insulation in the attic is the stuff that blows on and doesn t have a paper side.
This whole insulation installation is very very confusing.
Facing is a thin layer of paper or plastic attached to one side of.
