Separating insulation in half??

513 Views 5 Replies 4 Participants Last post by  Windows on Wash
I’m insulating my 16x20 workshop. I’m currently doing the roof and want to leave the ceiling open to store things above. I have 2x6 rafters. I left a 1” air space for air to pass from my soffit to the ridge and I used 1.5” foam board that I got a really good deal on. It leaves me with 3” of space. I was wondering if fibreglass insulation can be separated in half. Ex: use 6” insulation and separate it in half to get 3”... I’ve searched everywhere online and can’t find an answer. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Better would be to add a 2x3 to the bottom of the rafters and use the 5 1/2" insulation.
Or just a 1x2 and use 3 1/2" insulation.
