You could staple vapour barrier to the drywall (ceiling) seal itand then apply new drywall over thatEither way its an expensive project.
I don't think soAround here many people have a company come in and add several inches of insulation(Fiberglass)
greater info please: Fiberglass batting? (pink or white, some with paper on one area it somewhat is used to staple into the joists)OR blown-in fluff, OR spray in foam (that solidifies)Are you insulating an attic which you apart from mght use for storage, an area sufficiently vast to stroll in, or the narrow area between a cathedral ceiling and the roof? do you ought to artwork around residing house windows, vents, dormers or different unusual layouts? Are you insulating the 'floor' or the 'ceiling' interior the attic area? different posters - be sure to offer suggestion on which insulation to apply, the place the vapor barrier is going, how thick it would be? those are issues i understand to evaluate, yet don't have suggestion to proportion.
don't believe everything you readif you would feel better by going up into your attic and trying to bar moisture by means of some brand of plastic sheeting i.evisqueen, tyvek, etcConsider the difficulty of what you're attemptingWill it really bar moisture? If your roof is in good shape, and your home doesn't have Qwest type piping running through your attic, then blow in some more or roll out some more or staple the faced-type to your joists, you can purchase the faced styrofoam kind, apply it face down and voila' you have your moisture barrier and increased r-valueBut does it really bar moisture? Even with all the seams taped securely? I've never seen itAdequate attic ventilation willSave yourself the head acheInspect the roofDont remove the existing insulation, don't waste time, money on attic moisture barrier applicationAdd insulationEnsure adequate ventilation existsMoisture barriers are applied between the earth and living areasYour roof is what bars moisture from aboveVentilation will keep it from occupuying your atticBest of luck to you.
