When installing foam insulation boards in the attic make sure you start from one corner and work your way around the room. The superattic system creates a continuous air and insulation barrier directly beneath the attic roof with no thermal bridging to compromise energy performance. Most people do not think about insulating their floors unless perhaps it s their attic floor. The superattic system utilizes proprietary silverglo rigid foam insulation panels to fully seal and insulate the attic directly beneath the roof rafters and directly inside the gable ends.

Foam board insulation is easy to use and is a great diy way to add some insulation. Cover the insulation with a vapor barrier before you install it. Keep foam board insulation away from direct sunlight prior to installation. All foam boards absorb water vapor.

When installing the foam use caulk or tape for maximum insulation between the material and the board or floor. Some types of thicker foam board insulation are available but they may need to be special ordered. But insulating your floors is a good idea for many reasons including energy efficiency and height adjustments. It will degrade its r value.

Foam insulation boards can be attached to concrete walls as well and in such a case care should be taken not to chip the cement.
