[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 265609, member: 3373"] I think everybody's correct above. Condensation could be a problem. Condensation is created when cold air and warm air meet. If the closed cell foam is properly installed and sealed in the rafters there will be no cold air coming in. I'm guessing the closed cell would work better in the rafters as there is more to attached to and allows for an even layer of insulation. On the other hand, how do you get any air circulation in the attic. Without the air moving it could get pretty stale. One of the reasons for insulation above the sheetrock is to not heat that area in the winter and also to keep air moving in the summer to help keep the house cooler. Regardless of what you do keep in mind the air circulation. [/QUOTE]
