When installing batted insulation in the attic which side should the paper be on?

>> The paper should always face you, that way you can staple it to the studs. It depends if your attic is finished and usable or unfinished and used for storing boxes. Always have the paper toward the living area, which in the case of an unfinished attic (insulating attic floor) would be paper face down. Make sure the first layer you put down on the floor of the attic has the vapor barrier (paper) face down with subsequent layers of unfaced (no paper) insulation. If the attic is finished (you plan on heating / cooling the space as an office or what not, then the paper would then face you when installed on the ceiling/roof and use unfaced in the floor. Also be sure to have a clear opening for your soffit vents so there is ample circulation. A product called a rafter vent is used to keep the insulation from blocking this area.

How is insulation installed?

Well Depending on what the form of insulation is, the installation can be different. Typical fiberglass loose fill and paper backed insulation is what you usually see in homes, mostly pink but sometimes yellow and other colors depending on the manufacturer. Fiberglass insulation is easy to install by placing between the studs in a wall, paper side out, held in place by staples along the extended tab on the paper side. Loose fill is installed exactly how it sounds it would be, loosely packed in open holes, usually in attics and vent spaces in roofs to help with areas that are not able to be insulated with other products. But there are other forms of insulation still, like but not limited to; recycled newspaper that is blown into place by professionals using a blend of water, glue and fire retardant chemicals for safety, foam sealant insulation that is an epoxy rosin that expands and hardens over time to fill small gaps and holes in a structures exterior, and also Styrofoam board insulation that comes in different thicknesses and densities for stronger or lighter insulation as with all insulation that is stated by a reference number for the product designated the "R" Value for labeling use. I hope that this was helpful in answering your question.

Can you put kraft faced insulation in your attic over already installed blown in insulation and if so would you put the paper side down that is toward the rooms below?

I went to a seminar about attic insulating materials and this is what I learned. If you already have blow-in insulation in your attic you shouldn't need more fiberglass. Instead, you will want to install a reflective radiant barrier insulation. Fiberglass and cellulose are designed to slow down heat escaping so you eventually lose most of your heat through the ceiling regardless. You need something to re-direct the heat once it passes through the blow-in insulation. Radiant Barrier will reflect a majority of the heat back once it escapes your blow-in insulation. I bought some Ecofoil online and just rolled it out over top of my existing blow-in insulation, it was very easy. When installing radiant barrier over the attic floor you must use the perforated radiant barrier for maximum breathability. Moist air that is created inside your home must be able to escape as it rises through your ceiling. If a perforated radiant barrier is not used, the moisture will be trapped in between the barrier and your ceiling. When trapped this will cause condensation to form inside the building materials and insulation creating damage and mold.


How do you put double sided tape on?

This tape comes on a roll. One side is covered with a protective strip of paper. Unroll the paper and the tape and stick it down to one of the surfaces to be joined, pressing down firmly. Then, carefully lift a corner of the protective paper and remove it. Then stick the second surface to the top side of the tape.
