I don't know what it is but in the attic, there is a carboard-looking type of insulationFrom what I've 'researched', I think this must be cellulose?! We're looking to upgrade and I would like some, hopefully, professional or experienced advice on what to use.It's a concrete block and wood frame home with cathedral ceilingsI don't believe the cathedral ceiling have insulation, and as I mentioned, the attic is pretty much covered with this carboard-like material.What would you suggest?Thanks in advance!
Interesting looking, can't say I've seen anything like it before.
It almost looks like a Hornady Critical DefenseSo i'm guess it's for home defenseOr could be a competition shooting roundI own a family gun that a 120+ years old use's a .22 short and they would but a BB in it with no gun poweder just primerAn use it for small competition shootingSo that could be it.But I don't know??
Usually, cathedral ceilings have bat insulation between the drywall and the roof deckingThey can't blow insulation into that little spaceThere's nothing wrong with cellulose insulationIn fact, it can even do a better job than fiberglass insulationCheck to see how deep it is and then you can calculate the R value of what is presently there and decide if you want or need to blow more on top of itYou can also use a radiant barrier on the underside of the roofBe sure your attic has adequate ventilation so that it's not trapping superheated air.
