Can you use r30 in 2x6?
install the r-21 between the rafters, then screw or staple as many layers of rigid board insulation to achive r-30. 2. for the length of each rafter, attach the 1.5" side of a new 2x6 to the 1.5" side of the existing 2x6 rafter, essentially creating (almost) a 2x12, and then fill rafter bay with r-30.Oct 14, 2005

Do you need a vapor barrier with mineral wool insulation?
Because of its greater density and water resistant properties, mineral wool acts as a vapor barrier and, unlike fiberglass, does not need an additional vapor barrier to be effective.
Does Rockwool need a vapor barrier in Zone 5?
Building codes sometimes require an interior vapor retarder, but only in zones 5 and colder. While there is no need for a vapor barrier, you certainly need an air barrier in this location.Jul 9, 2019
