Started project this past weekend. Decided on Owens Corning BF72 R30. Batts are full 16" wide and friction fit nicely inside the joists. Kraft facing vapor retarder up against upstairs subfloor. I used spray foam to fully air seal the rim joist area before installing the batts. Only bought...

Yeah they recommended open cell for this application. As of right now I plan on using the R38 12" deep batts. With Lowes 30% off discount I can buy it for $869. It should fill in the joists nicely and R38 is overkill for my app. I'll post pics when done.

Received a quote for $2400 for spray foam. Open cell foam at 5" thick. Stated it would be R19.5. Is it me or isbthat alot of $$$ for a low R value. With the R38 batts it works out to $1300 and double the R value.

Did some research and the Roxul looks like awesome stuff as stated. They state for engineered I joists at 16 OC to use their batts slated for steel construction. They are wider than wood version. Confirmed that on their website. Getting some quotes tomorrow.

I appreciate all the responses. Quick search showed a few foam companies in the area. Calling them for a quote tomorrow and going from there. Thanks

Going to start insulating the ceiling of my attached 33x38' garage. There is a bonus room above garage. Will be heated/cooled in future. I used R19 Batts to insulate garage walls. Plan on caulking all ceiling wall joints before insulating. Wanting to use R30 in my climate. Northern WV...
