Question: How should I install Foamular insulation?

Steve writes from Liverpool, New York: "I am insulating my attic and i am not sure how to apply the pink Foamular; does the lettering go inside or show?"

Answer: The lettering is not a factor in the performance of rigid PINK FOAMULAR® insulation. One important factor to remember is that foam insulation must be covered with a 15-minute thermal barrier or it will most likely be a code violation and fire hazard. Your message does not indicate where you plan to install the foam insulation. It should go on the floor of the attic, between the joists if possible, where it will also be between the ventilated attic space and living space below. It should not be placed overhead in an unfinished and ventilated attic.
