It is insulated with fibreglass and covered with drywall but the floor is always cold in the winter. I am looking for suggestions on how to re-insulate to have a warm floor. </p> http://forum.thumbandhammer.com/topic/attic-knee-wall#post-7 Fri, 20 Feb 2009 14:02:16 +0000 kevmitsu 7@http://forum.thumbandhammer.com/ <p>So I have seen on the galleries, "attic renovation" that tyvec was used on the exterior of the kneewall, attic side. I have a similar set up where the bathroom was built in the attic. The previous owner never put insulation in the wall so in the winter it was quite cold. To remedy, i put insulation in the knee wall from the attic side since the bathroom was finished. While it did help quite a bit i feel it should still be a bit warmer. Question being should i put the tyvek on the out side and seal it? Im sure this is designed to breath. Or do i take out the insulation, line the stud cavities with a continuous piece of plastic sealing it to the studs as i go and then reinsulate, then install tyvek to hold it up. Any insight would be appreciated. </p>
