Question from Gigi

Dear Debra,

I have read your recommended safe solutions for insulation in “Home Safe Home”. I have also searched the Q&A section.

However, it is not clear to me if the advice givens covers unfinished attics.

We currently have blown fiberglass insulation on the floor of the attic. It has been there at least 20 years.

On the wall adjoining of the attic that adjoins a room, there is fiberglass batting with a layer of plastic over it. There is no drywall covering the fiberglass on that wall.

There is no insulation on the sloping roof portion of the attic.

Debra’s Answer

I’m not an expert on installing insulation, but I know some of my readers are.

So, readers, what are your recommendations?
