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.

In "The Minister's Black Veil," the pale-faced congregation symbolizes the sense of guilt and sin that the minister's veil brings to light.

How good is foil faced bubble wrap insulation for insulating your van?
minimal R-value with foil faced bubble wrap, but does cut down on radiant heat alot....BUT you must install it with some dead air space on one side of it. Like put wood slat strips on the ribs with glue/screws then place thin paneling or FRP skin over it with the bub-wrap spray glued onto the metal first. IMHO
