I'm looking to insulate my garage ceiling and everything I've read and researched has stated baffles/rafter/ceiling vents are absolutely required. I was prepared to purchase them; however when I accessed my finished garage attic I found that there is a board that separates my soffit from the trusts throughout the attic.
4. i need to temporarily remove the garage door rail brackets that attach to the ceiling. Same for the motor but thats not an issue. For the rails I was going to raise the door, disconnect the spring, manually lower the door, disconnect the ceiling brackets and temp hold the rails in place with support from below or some kind of rigging.
Hi all - Moving this from hvac to carpentry area. We have an unconditioned attached garage with conditioned rooms above - when insulating the ceiling - do we need a vapor barrier (faced fiberglass batt)? If so, should the face touch the ceiling or face down towards floor? We have hot summers and cold winters here in the north east. Thanks
Insulated ceiling and walls will make a huge difference in comfort, even without a source of heating or cooling. Makes the interior temp a lot more stable and resistant to wild temperature swings. Of course with insulation it's then possible to warm the garage up with even a moderate source of heat, or throw in a window unit and cool it off.
Looking for ideas on how to insulate my garage ceiling. Its an unfinished garage with an unfinished bonus room above garage. I am wanting to put in dual zone mini split but need to insulate and drywall first. The ceiling is made of 16in tall I beams that are spaced 12in apart. Not ideal for any fiberglass sizes I can find.
I have a finished 20x24 garage. I am in the process of doctoring it up, painting and installing cabinets. The ceiling joist are 2x4 - 24"oc. When in the attic the ceiling is a bit bouncy. I have a few minor things in the attic such as spare moldings for my kitchen cabinets and florescent light tube. The space above the garage door is wasted space.
I have a twinhome with an attached garage that is not heated, and to help keep the cold air from coming in through the garage into the basement I would like to insulate the ceiling. It is completely sheet rocked and the walls are insulated. I'm going to blow in insulation but had the same question about a vapor barrier.
There is living space above the unconditioned garage, which has virtually no insulation in the ceiling. The garage ceiling is comprised of 10” joist spaced 12” O.C. There is also some 9” Fiberglass batt insulation, but no sheet rock or other covering, so it is not enclosed (thus allowing air movement). Spray foam is too expensive.
Also paper tape and coat over the seams and nail heads of drywall above ceiling (painted) line to isolate any fire in the garage from entering the house attic as per code (required). Run 2x6’s across the short (11’) span below the existing at 16” or 32” on center, depending on the ceiling material.
I am new here and need some advice. I live in Austin, Texas and purchased a home with an existing garage that is detached from house. Hardie plank is on the exterior. The bare studs can be seen from the inside of the garage. No type of vapor barrier/paper was used and the backside of the hardieplank has a thin piece foam of insulation on it.
