foil lined house sheathing

brianhamann2020 | Posted in General Questions on

I have a 1956 house that has double catalog reflective insulation. Can I blow in insulation between this and my drywall to further insulate my home or will this cause moisture issues down the road.  I live in Minnesota and the walls get very cold in the winter.
