In older homes the drywaller and plaster installer) often did not drywall the space above a stairway ceiling because the stair ceiling created the barrier between the attic and the stairwell. Unfortunately, this creates a huge hole in the attic floor and this space is as cold as your attic during the winter months. It is difficult to properly insulate the inside of these walls and it is wasteful to fll the entire hole with cellulose insulation. The solution is to block the opening between the floor joists with paneling or foam board, and then seal ALL seams wih spray foam.

This is a brief video demonstration to illustrate the value of vacuum-bonded Foam Insulation on an RV as compared to the traditional (and less desirable) fiberglass batting used on lesser units. Forest River’s Surveyor travel trailers which use the much-preferred vacuum-bonded foam insulation provide a much higher R-Value, provide much greater tensile strength and durability and repel water, mold and smells. Watch the video and see for yourself. Think of it… you have a quarter inch of foam insulation when you pour a hot cup of coffee into your disposable foam cup. With Surveyor, you have two inches of foam insulation! The choice is clear, and your choice for the BEST DEAL - NATION WIDE is TERRY FRAZER’S RV CENTER.

First we removed the redwood siding and the middle section of the brown fiber board. Then we pulled out the old fiberglass insulation batts. Fortunately they were stapled on the inside of the stud instead of the face of the stud - so they pulled out without too much trouble.
After putting the fiber board back we drilled our 2 inch hole and dense packed with cellulose insulation. There were several small cavities such as where an interior wall meets the exterior wall as well as the corner framing that had no fiberglass insulation at all. By adding cellulose we increase our r-value to near 4.0, we greatly reduce air flow in the stud cavity and we do not have to air seal the exterior wall top plates (the cellulose seals the stud cavity from the inside). This is a low pitch roof ranch and there is just no way to air seal the exterior wall top plates from the inside. Its difficult to even reach the top plate from the attic much less get a foam gun pointed in the correct spot.
