R-30 to R-38 in the attic, R-13 in the walls and R-19 in the floor.
Also make sure your heating system has enough air flow to that room to do the job. That requires a load calculation and some type of air measuring device like a flow hood. Stretch |

Radiant floor heating. Check it out! A couple bucks but sweet. Best heat I
ever felt. "Chuck" wrote in message ... Hi all, My bedroom is above my garage and this winter I could not keep warm...the roof is plastered and I bet there is little if any insulation in the ceiling.
