Best Answer

Fiberglass batts. After the framing is complete, fit the fiberglass batting between the 2x8 and staple the paper moisture barrier to the framing to hold it in place. Make sure that you do not leave any gaps in the insulation in the ends or at seams.

Can a room be built over a gabled roof or could the roof be lifted and then replaced over the room?

A gabled roof is the triangular portion of a wall between the edges. It is the sloping roof. Thus the type of enclosing roof the volume dictates the shape of the gable. If you built a room over the roof is not possible. So you replace the roof and raise walls and ceiling of the room and replace the roof.


How do you insulate your garage to keep the room above it cooler?

You can insulate the garage walls and ceiling using the rolled up fiberglass stuff or the foam boards in the walls and ceiling. This isn't gonna help too much with the tope room though. The roof is what is making this room hotter. The only way you can help this is to put really good insulation under the roof decking between the roof joists. You can also install a electric fan to help suck the air out as long as soffets are open to allow air flow return. If you are actually using this room then you probably don't have the room to do the circultion fan in the ceiling. I would then just insulate the walls of the room and and cieling really well. I hope this helps some. I just insulated my garage, but I don't have a living type space above it. I just use it for storage. It works good for me.
