I am building an extension to our existing home and am preparing to insulate the roof

Jean Blain| Posted inGeneral Questionson

I am building an extension to our existing home and am preparing to insulate the roof which is a low-slope (2:12) cathedral ceiling. I am building the roof using 2 x10 rafters. The roof assembly will be completely sealed.

Many Thanks,

    Jean,
    It looks like your question was cut off before you finished posting.

    Here is a link to another article -- different from the one that Steve suggested -- discussing insulation options for low-slope roofs:Insulating Low-Slope Residential Roofs.
