Howdy all...Here's the situation. I'm currently working on the plans for a redo on my daughters room. (She's 15 months old so has no input, though I'm quite certain she'll make up for this later in life)
The room has a drop ceiling. The gap between the drop ceiling and the original ceiling is about 8 or so inches. The area on the third floor above this room is a storage area in the eves of the roof with no insulation. The attic/third floor was made into a bedroom by former owners and during the remodeling they made the eve areas storage. There's insulation between the storage and attic room now, with really thin insulation on the roof.
What I'm thinking is to glue styrofoam insulation to the original ceiling to help control the temp in her room. The "discussion" my father-in law and I are having is if gluing the foam to the original ceiling would work better than letting it lay on the top of the drop ceiling. I think letting it just lay on the ceiling isn't really gonna do that much good because I'm going to have to cut it into strips to get it between the hanger wire used for the drop ceiling. This is going to leave enough air gaps that it's pretty much a waste of time and energy.
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
Thanks.
