I'm not sure what maintenance you expect to need to perform in your attic. Unless you have HVAC equipment up there that requires servicing, it should be a once every 5 years rare occurrence. In that case you still step on framing, but you might have to go by feel. There are charts all over the internet with recommended attic insulation our values for every climate zone. You want to look and make your decision. | |
| 18 hours ago | comment | added | divB | Thank you! Would you mind commenting on: (1) No concerns in terms of weight? It is a lath and plaster ceiling. I would assume not, but just in case. (2) On the additional layer, how would I then enter/use the attic for maintenance? I can only step on the trusses and now it's clear where I can step (=between the batts). Also, how high would you suggest to blow an additional layer, if any? | |
