I can get 2 basic types of fiberglass insulation at HD and Lowes....
Paper Faced & Plastic Wraped (the whole bat is covered with plastic)
In the attic I typically used the plastic wraped stuff since it was easier to keep clean.
Note....I don't live in one of those obscenly cold places.....right now we are having a cold snap....it got down to 42 last night.
I have 3 areas to insulate....walls (which will have stucco on the outside), vaulted ceilings and 2nd floor floor joists....(I'm assuming the vapor barrier would go down)
I'm so of inclined to think that the plastic wraped stuff would work better in the vaulted ceiling...
Guidlines?
