I knw aluminum foil is whats used in this method but im currently out of it and since parchment paper can stand heat i wondered if i can use that instead
First thing to assess with manufactured mobile is the date of construction to find what and where the insulation isI would find that data, get a schematic of the construction and proceed based on info the manufacturer providesWindows typically are responsible for 70% of heat loss incidentally so take a long hard look at those before cutting up the walls of your homeBut on the blown in; home depot in my area has very affordable loose insulation and a machine to rent to do so if need beI have hand filled bays in my mud room with great efficiency and economyCaulk in the windows leaks first though! it may be the beast that is causing the drafty cold in your place.
no,no,noyou will get the same thickness of insul, if you have batt now leave itlook into replacing the windows (not crazy expensive if you shop around and install basic double pane yourself)also the doors should be upgradedyou should have access under the home to check/ increase the insul there, i would also seal the crawl space so you don't have six sides to the coldan insulated roof over would help heat loss through the ceil/roof assemblyand any draft stop work at outlets etc helpalso have your hvac and ducts checked/ serviced, and don't use a fifteen dollar restrictive filter, the static pressure will be high, although if it is a package unit the static allowable is higher( have them use a magnahelic gauge on the duct, takes two minutes, no cost)
What is wrong with the rolled insulation you have now? If you already have insulation in the wall I doubt there is room to add any moreIt sounds to me like you are already fully insulatedThere is no need to add more.
That would not be safe because a heat source must be used with the aluminum foil methodAluminum foil retains the heat and does not catch on fireParchment paper would catch fire because it is a type of paper, not a metal!
