Insulating over Loose Fill

Aug 01, 2007 2 Replies

My attic currently has loose fill insulation which is almost to the top of each joist bay. I have some craft-faced insulation that I would like to use on top of the existing loose fill.



Should I remove the craft paper before installing the batts?



If I leave the craft paper, should it face down, toward the living space?



Note: I live in the cold Northeast.



Thanks



I would suggest slitting it.

You don't want the vapor barrier at all; remove it.
