Insulation

SubArctic | Posted in General Discussion on

As I am insulating my shop ceiling, I am at a loss as to why I cannot find fiberglass insulation that is made for 2 x 8’s. Currently, I am using r-21 batts and then inserting 2 inch foam board on top of that. Does anyone make fiberglass batts for 2 x8’s.

Thanks.
