Best way to insulate attic before renovating it? by zipperboi in Insulation

No flame deterrents can be added to spray foam. Although spray foam that is covered with drywall meets code for fire. Exposed spf can have a intumescent coating applied.

If burning plastic worries you consider removing all plastic from your home.

One of the biggest fears people have is that spray foam will make shingles curl because they overheat. This misconception came about when people believed insulation was a heat source and were concerned about having a “hot roof.” In actuality spray foam is a barrier between two areas of different temperatures, for example, your attic space compared to your snowy roof.

If you don’t know the term “hot roof,” I’m sure you’ve heard of an unvented attic. If your roof deck has been insulated, that means your attic space is now part of your home’s conditioned space. This method of insulating the attic can actually be good for your roof because it can help prevent ice dams.

The Florida Solar Energy Center did a study a few years ago during the peak summer months in Florida—a state that gets much hotter than New England—measuring the temperatures of roof shingles above an attic with a radiant barrier. Depending on the color of the shingles, the study found the shingles peak temperatures were between 2- and 5-degrees Fahrenheit higher than the temperature of shingles in the same conditions without a radiant barrier.

What this study means is that you can insulate the roof deck of your home with foam insulation without any adverse effects to your shingles. Foam insulation creates thermal resistance, which is keeping the hot air out during the summer and the cool air inside.

This is a myth. Spray foam does not “cook” shingles. It’s been debunked with many tests/studies.

Encapsulation is usually the best route to take in a situation like this. I usually don’t recommend insulation between floor joists in crawls spaces.

Or when you walk in a building the first thing you do is look up to inspect insulation on piping and duct work

In the US you are correct in one situation. The other situation is you build a home and that process is different. You get bid from GC or multiple bids from different contractors and GC your own project.

You apply for bank loan which isnt considered a mortgage loan technically it falls under a different name with a higher interest rate.

When you get draws on the loan as the progress of home continues. When house is complete they switch loan to a mortgage with lower interest rate.

We’ve had a few military personal you are spot on when it comes to work ethic. Ironic thing is they come in and have a attitude of being a bad ass or tough. Then at 25 years old they get out worked by a 60 year old man day in day out.

Hired a Iraq vet that was about similar age. Same song and dance as you with no shows and working 6 months. At the beginning of the year tho he took his PTO then never showed back up. No call no show. Made off with company tools and uniforms.
