How do I hold the insulation in place for the inspector before putting up the sheet rock?
Jeff writes from Stillwater, Minnesota: “I’m finishing a new bonus room (above a 3 stall garage). Regarding insulation in the top, flat ceiling, should I put faced batt insulation? If yes, how do I put this in place and hold it for the inspector before putting up the sheet rock? I’m not sure stapling it up will hold.” Answer: Yes, we recommend using Kraft-faced insulation. The paper should be installed facing the heated room (warm-in-winter side). If stapling is not suitable, insulation supports can be used. You should be able to find them at your local retailer alongside the insulation products.
