Insulation for a garage roof

user-7159077 | Posted in General Questions on
Hello. I need to insulate the roof from my garage and my question is:
If I have a space of 10 in. to be insulated, the blanket should be 10 in. thick or should it be smaller?
Thank you very much

    Is that a roof or a floor above?
    If it is a roof, is there any way to vent it?

    HI Jorge -

    Is there is a living space above the garage (often called a "bonus" room)? Is that why you are trying to insulate?

    If so, air sealing this framing assembly is as important as insulating it.

    Jorge,

    It would also help us to know where you are located.
