How to Add Roof Insulation
In this Project you will:
Step 1: Determine the Amount of Insulation Needed
Before adding any insulation to an attic, figure out how much insulation (R-value) is already there and what is recommended for the area.
After determining how many bags of insulation are needed, two people are needed to complete the task: One person to man the hopper and keep it full, and the other person to man the hose in the attic.
Step 2: Wield the Hose to Apply Insulation
Once the hopper is turned on, keep the hose moving to ensure even distribution. Place a hand over the hose like a baffle to help control the flow of insulation.
