I am trying to insulate under my dining room, which I closed in from the garage areaHowever, I am debating the type of insulation to use and how to do itThe area underneath the dining room retains a lot of moisture, so I am afraid of adding insulation for fear that it will form moldSo my question is should I use unfaced insulation, faced insulation, or perhaps even 1quot; foam board between the rafters? BTW the distance between the concrete carport floor and the new wooden dining room floor is 2 1/2 ftWill best answer thank you.
