Re: GBlist: How much insulation to put in roof & in floor? -Reply
I now have to choose what type of insulation to use.
I lean toward these materials [indoor air quality in not a worry for me
with fiberglass]:
Conventional fiberglass batts (unfaced w. poly barrier or kraft-faced)
Dow Corning MiraFlex
Dow Corning Pink Plus Polywrapped
But these are worth considering:
Cotton batts (unfaced w. poly barrier or kraft-faced)
Blown cellulose w. reinforced poly barrier
Are there substantial reasons to use cellulose or cotton? What about the
durability of these materials?
