Insulating ‘A’ Frame Home

| Posted in General Discussion on

*
A new client of mine would like to insulate his ‘A’ Frame home. This is in northern WI and will be a year-round home. We’ve talked about gluing foam onto the roof then gluing/screwing plywood to the foam or gluing/screwing engineered joists to the roof with conventional insulation with a cold roof.Has anybody run into this before?
