Attic Insulation
Australian-born architect and homeowner, Gavin Langley, shows Bob how attics are insulated in his home country. Down Under, insulation is installed between rafters and above the ceiling. This arrangement reduces summer heat gain while reducing winter heat loss. In this project the ceiling gets a six-inch layer of R-19 fiberglass insulation. Bob and Gavin also discuss the budget.
