We built a Swedish-style house in 2010 and still have about 10 rolls of Rockwool insulation left from construction.
I would now like to use this mineral wool to insulate the attic.
The reason is simple: the mineral wool is already up there, otherwise I would have to carry it down, somehow sell it, buy batts, and carry them back up again.
Since the mineral wool doesn’t fit snugly between the rafters, I thought I could staple the vapor retarder membrane in sections and then fill the insulation in behind it.
What do you think of this approach?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Martin
