Paper is made from cellulose that is composed of HC O
Cellulose (carbon, hydrogen, oxygen)
The insulation between your roof rafters is serving no purpose as you are losing heat via the ridge vent and attic vent fan (but you have already recognized that)Sounds like someone was going to turn the attic into living space but lost interestBlowing cellulose insulation into the floor joist area is a good investment with quick payback and will make your home more comfortable tooHere in North Michigan we require a minimum of about 14 inches of cellulose, giving an insulation value of about R-42 (resistance to heat flow)Cellulose has the best R-value per inch (R 3.5 per inch) and also stops air loss from your home much better than fiberglassCongratulations on recognizing the problem and being familiar with the terminology.
