What is the proper Attic Insulation vapor barrier orientation?
If you're installing insulation yourself, remember these guidelines when using a vapor barrier: * Always place the vapor barrier towards the warm side of the insulated area - facing downward on the attic floor or to the interior side of the wall. * When adding a second layer of insulation to an attic, do NOT add a second vapor barrier - this can trap moisture inside the first layer. Use loose-fill or unfaced batts or blankets; if only faced batts are available, cut facing every few inches to allow air to pass through. * If the vapor barrier tears during installation, tape it tightly. * If you have a crawlspace, add polyethylene vapor barrier on the floor of the area to reduce condensation from ground moisture.
How does home insulation?
It keeps cold air out in the winter and warmth in. And keeps hot summer air out and cool air in. The insulation traps pockets of air which slows down the transfer of heat from one area to another. The material which makes up the insulation also slows down the transfer of heat. This slowing down is called resistance, hence the measurement on insulation, R-values. Some insulation do act as an air barrier (and some can even act as a moisture barrier); however this is not always the case. In modern building methods, we use an additional air and/or moisture barrier to help maintain the comfort in the home. You do not want to stop air flow in all situations, and you really do not want a moisture barrier in areas along the Gulf Coast- this can harm the structure of the home.
