Been looking for a video just like this. I am a 71 yr old woman who will be attempting to duplicate these processes, all by herself. This is the only video, of the dozen I have watched, that addresses EVERYTHING that needs to be done, WHY it should be done that way, and teaches in an informed but easy to understand way. Thank you so very much! When cooler weather gets here, I will be making this happen.

Thanks so much! This was clearly filmed and explained. I’m going to insulate my porch ceiling and now I feel confident getting it done properly.

This video is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. This was the only video that I found that explained everything, from start to finish that didn't use blown insulation.

[@Mr5Stars]

Thank you for the video. Our living room and kitchen were converted to cathedral ceiling over a decade ago, now the drywall compound and compound tape are pealing offmf the cathedral ceiling, im almost sure the conteactor didn't intall these ventitalion baffles, does anyone know if a "special" drywall , coumpound, coumpound tape is needed to prevent compound and tape from cracking and allow "some ventalation" through the drywall? , Or the lack of ventilation is the cause of the drywall compound cracking?

[@beckyross9600]

I’ve searched for two months for a detailed video such as this. Thank you! I’m so glad I found this as it answered my questions. I have a workshop and would like to insulate the cathedral ceiling to leave the “attic” space for storage. Prior to finding this video, I wasn’t sure about the baffles but now know they need to go to the top ridge with the insulation. Thank you again!!

[@PhillipsVision]

You’re welcome, glad it helped.

Thanks for the heads up in baffles. We just bought a 78 yr old house and have to I stall insulation in the cathedral attic then gyproc or some other system, and paint. Great information so thanks very much.

[@mario7mag]

Thank you so much for this video, makes perfect sense. I was looking into spray foam insulation but my concerns about air flow and moisture are why I didn't, especially because of the high humidity area I live in. This seems to be a lot better option.

[@notredametours7164]

The video is so easy to understand with important details showing in between how to insulate. Thanks for sharing… it saves me lots money.

Yessir, I don’t know nothing about any insulation work but with a video like this I felt like I was ready for a project. You do earn the likes and money sir because your video is so full of information and detail explaining. The pictures, the cuts, the steps everything 100%

This video was very helpful. I was kind of overwhelmed about this project but this video eased my mind. Thank you!

[@marymcandrew7667]

Great job on a very clearly explained and demonstrated video about this. I now live in Scotland and we'd like to insulate our roof, but don't have a lot of height to work with. I guess we'll have to find out the code here for thickness of insulation. Our rafters are not as wide as yours so I think we'd need what I've seen on some other videos, like a metal frame that extends out from the rafters and holds the insulation back. We are trying to learn so maybe we can try to do some of it ourselves, builders are too busy and too expensive now since covid came. :-( Thanks for the video!

[@anthonyphillips7253]

Best video I've seen on KZbin in a long time. Informative, direct, an understandable. I know exactly what tools I need, and products to do my attic and area over my garage. Thanks for the video and keep them coming.

[@adilenecastillo2136]

This video is gold. I think you are the only guy who created a video on how to put insolation on this kind of ceiling. I’m gonna follow the procedure because the house we bought a year ago has old insolation that is like paper now and the second floor it’s terrible hot during summer and horribly cold during winter. Thank you so much!!

[@PhillipsVision]

Glad it helped👍

[@adilenecastillo2136]

Do you have any favorite baffle rafter? I am checking and they do have them in home depot, there are like 3 different types. Also, I haven’t found the insulation with the back of cardboard, how do you order it?

[@PhillipsVision]

@@adilenecastillo2136 it’s not a cardboard backer, just paper. Any baffle will work as long as it’s the right width

My garage roof literally started leaking and stumped all of us. No plumbing in there. No water. No apparent holes in the roof. I was completely stumped. Here now I think it’s the moisture piece you talked about around 02:15 Thanks a ton for the info and solution start to finish!

[@ColinMacInnis]

Story continued: I inspected around the siding and sure enough found a small gap just outside the place where the interior is collecting water. Patched and fixed now and I’m checking the wood with a moisture meter to make sure it’s fixed

I built a small knife shop when I lived in Walterboro South Carolina with a Cathedral ceiling I went into the local home building supplies stores in Walterboro which was to pretty large company’s neither one have ever heard of ceiling baffles!!! I was the one who was (baffled) I had to go to Summerville to Lowe’s which of course had the baffles I took them back to the building supplies stores in Walterboro thinking they would say ooooh that’s what you were talking about yeah we have those....but no they never seen or heard of them.

Finally, a video that shows it done correctly! The only question is if the attic isn't going to be finished and I want to insulate the entire ceiling, do I continue with the baffles until the other opening (anything special needs to be done? Thanks for the video!

[@PhillipsVision]

Just run the baffle all the way to the ridge vent, then install the insulation. Make sure the air flow is unobstructed from the eaves vent to the ridge vent.

[@donaldwest8130]

Good info. There are several closed channels on my roof in the attic due to the design (about 6-8 in a row of 20 rafters) and there is no way to vent. Open cell foam uses no ventilation, but no one has been able to actually explain why that product won't cause heat damage to the roof or if there is a water leak, foam inhibits the ability to locate it. In your view will approx 30% of the roof not being ventilated be a problem?

[@kodiham7532]

How about using closed cell foam instead?

[@nickraspa3171]

great explanation

[@mada881010789]

Thank you! This looks a clean solution by installing the blanket on the ceiling vs floor. I have gas pipes in my attic , if it choose this method, do I need to vent my attic ?
