ugh! i am having serious issues making this dang oragami crane!!!!!?
I build and I would blow up to 38inchesIf it has no insulation then Iceneyne (Also known as Foam Spray) is the bestStart 2inches Ice and 36in blown.
The commercial for that ''Pink Panther''brand (I can't remember the name brain freze) says it should be 12 inches deep,thats about 2 layers of the rool stuff I'm not sure how many sq feet are in a rool ,they should say on them,just have to add it up when you go to buy
Attics are best with blown in insulationThe first guy is rightI live in Tenn, and we use 24 of itYou want to add 4 for every climate zone the farther north you goYou get a little over 60 square feet in a residential rollYou end up packing down the insulation below itThat defeats the purposeInsulation only works if you have proper air spaceIf it gets compacted it doesn't work.
LIFT THE TOP FLAP AND PUSH THE OUTSIDE PARTS IN I feel UR pain !!!!!!!!!!!!
The amount of insulation that you NEED is determined by where you liveThe greater the temperature extremes, either colder or hotter than the comfort zone, the more insulation that you will needThe place where you buy your insulation can tell you the minimum depth of insulation you will need in your atticIn some places, they will have a different depth recommendation based upon the type of heating that you haveThey will require less insulation for gas heating than for electric heatingThis is based upon the cost per BTU for either gas or electric heating in your areaAlways use the electric heating recommendation where they list a differenceOf course, more is always better and will soon pay for itself in savings in heating and cooling costsBats seem to be better than blown in insulation but are more labor intensiveThe bats are less likely to settle than blown in insulationOnce insulation has settled, it looses some of its insulating propertiesSince you are insulating only about 1000 sqft., if it is easily accessable so that you can unroll the batts into the spaces between the ceiling joists, I'd use batts rather than the blown in type of insulationIf it is difficult to access the area to be insulated, the blown in insulation will be your only choice.
